Mine eye, consum'd with grief, grows old, Because of all mine enemies.
My heart doth pant incessantly, my strength doth quite decay; As for mine eyes, their wonted light is from me gone away.
By reason of affliction mine eye mourns dolefully: To thee, Lord, do I call, and stretch my hands continually.
When as I did refrain my speech, and silent was my tongue, My bones then waxed old, because I roared all day long.
Those men that do without a cause bear hatred unto me, Than are the hairs upon my head in number more they be: They that would me destroy, and are mine en'mies wrongfully, Are mighty: so what I took not, to render forc'd was I.
