Lord, hear thou my voice, by which I cried to thee; have thou mercy on me, and hear me.
I shall say to God, Do not thou condemn me; show thou to me, why thou deemest me so.
My Lord God, behold thou, and hear thou me. Lighten thou mine eyes, lest any time I sleep in death;
Thou hast turned my wailing into joy to me; thou hast rent my sack-cloth, and hast encompassed me with gladness.
For why my life failed in sorrow; and my years in wailings. My virtue is made feeble in poverty; and my bones be troubled.
To the victory, in organs, the psalm of David. When I inwardly called, God of my rightwiseness heard me; in tribulation thou hast alarged to me. Have thou mercy on me; and hear thou my prayer.
My King, and my God; give thou attention to the voice of my prayer. For, Lord, I shall pray to thee;
