Psalm 6
Oh LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger: Oh chasten me not in thy heavy displeasure. Have mercy upon me
(o LORD) for I am weak: o LORD heal me, for all my bones are vexed. My soul also is in great
trouble, but LORD how how long? Turn thee (o LORD) & deliver my soul: Oh save me, for thy
mercy's sake. For in death no man remembreth thee: Oh who will give thee thanks in the hell? I
am weary of groaning: Every night wash I my bed, & water my couch with my tears. My
countenance is chaunged for very inwarde grief, I consume away, I have so many enemies. Away
from all the wicked doers, for the LORD hath herd the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard
mine humble petition, the LORD hath received my prayer. All mine enemies shall be confounded &
sore vexed: yea they shall be turned back and put to shame, and that right soon.

Psalm 32 (numbered as 31 in original)
Blessed are they, whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man, unto whom the LORD imputeth no
sin in whose spirit there is no guile. For while I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily omplaining. And because thy
hand was so heavy upon me both day and night, my moisture was like the drought in Summer. Selah.
Therefore I confessed my sin unto thee, and hid not mine unrighteousness. I said: I will acknowledge mine offence, and accuse myself
unto the LORD, and so thou forgavest me the wickedness of my sin.
Selah. For this shall every saint make his prayer unto thee in due season, therefore shall not the great water floods come nigh him.
Thou art my defense in the trouble that is come about me, O compass thou me about also with the joy of deliverance.
Selah. I will inform thee, and show thee the way wherein thou shalt go: I will fasten mine eyes upon thee. Be not ye now like horses
& moles, which have no understanding. Whose mouths thou must hold with bit & bridle, if they will not obey thee.
Great plagues shall the ungodly have, but who so putteth his trust in the LORDE, Imercy shall compasse him on every side. Be glad (o
ye righteous) and rejoice in the LORD, be joyful all ye that are true of heart.

Psalm 38 (numbered 37 in original)
Put me not to rebuke (Oh LORD) in thine anger: Oh chasten me not in thy heavy displeasure. For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy
hand presseth me sore. There is no whole parte in my body, because of thy displeasure: there is no rest in my bones by reason of my sins. For my wickednesses are gone over my head, and are like a sore burden, too heavy for me to bear.
My wounds stink & are corrupt, through my foolishness. I am brought into so great trouble and misery, that I go mourning all the day
long. For my loins are clean dried up, and there is no whole parte in my body. I am feeble and sore smitten, I roar for thee the very
disquietness of my heart.
LORD, thou knowest all my desire, & my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength hath failed me, & the light of mine
eyes is gone from me. My lovers & friends stand looking upon my trouble, and my kinsmen are gone afar off.
They that sought after my life, and to do me evil, spoke of lies and imagined deceit all the day long. As for me, I was like a deaf
man, and heard not: and as one that were dumb, not opening his mouth. I am become as a man that heareth not, and that can make no
resistance with his mouth.
For in thee (O LORD) is my trust. Thou shalt hear me, O LORD my God. My desire is that mine enemies triumph not over me: for if my
foot slip, they rejoice greatly against me. I am ready to suffer trouble, and my heaviness is ever in my sight. For I confess my
wickedness, & my sin grieveth me.
But mine enemies live, and are mighty: and they that hate me without a cause are many in number. They that reward me evil for good,
speak evil of me, because I follow the thing that good is. Forsake me not (O LORDE my God) O go not far from me. Haste thee to help me, O
LORD my succor.

Psalm 51 (numbered 50 in original)
The L. A psalm of David.
Have mercy upon me (o God) after thy goodness, & according unto thy great mercies, do away mine offenses. Wash me well from my
wickedness, & cleanse me my sin. For I acknowledge my faults, and my sin is ever before me.
Against the only against the have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: that thou mightiest be justified in thy sayings, and shouldest
overcome when thou art judged.
Behold, I was born in wickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
But lo, thou hast a pleasure in the truth, and hast showed me secret wisdom. O reconcile me with Hope, and I shal be clean: wash thou
me, and I shall be whiter then snow. Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken, may rejoice. Turn thy
face from my sins, and put out all my misdeeds. Make me a clean heart (o God) and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from
thy presence, and take not thy holy spirit from me. O give me the comfort of thy help again, and establish me with thy free spirit. Then
shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, that sinners may be converted unto thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness o God, thou that art the
God of my health, that my tong may praise thy righteousness. Open my lips (O LORD) that my mouth may show thy praise.
For if thou hadest pleasure in sacrifice, I would give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt offerings. The sacrifice of God is a
troubled spirit, a broken and a contrite heart (o God) shalt thou not despise. O be favorable and gracious unto Zion, that the walls of
Jerusalem may be builded. For then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt offerings and oblations:
then shall they lay bullocks upon thine alter.

Psalm 102 (numbered 101 in original)
Hear my prayer (o Lord) and let my crying come unto thee. Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine ears unto
me when I call, O hear me, and that right soon. For my days are consumed away like smoke, & my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.
My heart is smitten down and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread.
For the voice of my groaning, my bone will scarce cleave to my flesh. I am become like a pelican in the wilderness, and like an Owl in
a broken wall. I wake, and am even as it were a sparrow sitting alone upon the housetop. Mine enemies revile me all the day long, they
laugh me to scorn, and are sworn together against me. I eat ashes with my bred, and mingle my drink with weeping And that because of the
indignation and wrath, for thou hast taken me up, and cast me away. My days are gone like a shadow, and I am withered like grass. But thou
(o LORD) endure forever, and thy remembrance throughout all generations. Arise therefore and have mercy upon Zion, for it is time to have
mercy upon her, yea the time is come. And why? Thy servants have a love to her stones and it pityeth them to see her in the dust. The
heathen shall fear thy name (o LORD) and all the kings of the earth thy majesty. For the LORD shall build up Zion, and shall appear in his
glory. He turneth him unto the prayer of the poor destitute, and dispiseth not their desire. This shall be written for those that come
after, that the people which shall be born, may praise the LORD.
For he looketh down from his Sanctuary, out of the heaven doth the LORD behold the earth.
That he may hear the mourning of such as be in captivity, and deliver the children of death. That they may preach the name of the LORD
in Zion, and his worship at Jerusalem. When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms also to serve the LORD. He hath brought
down my strength in my journey, and shortened my days. Yet will I say: O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age: as for thy
years, they endure throughout all generations. Thou LORD in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the
works of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wax old as doth a garment, & as a vesture shalt thou change
them and they shall be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
The children of thy servants shall continue, & their seed shall prosper in the fight.

Psalm 130 (numbered 129 in original)
The CXXIX. psalm.
Out of the deep call I unto thee (o LORD) LORD hear my voice. Oh let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint. If thou
(LORD) wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, Oh LORD, who may abide it? But there is mercy with the, that thou mayest be feared.
I look for the LORD, my soul doth wait for him, and in his word is my trust. My soul doth patiently abide the LORD, from the one morning
to the other. Let Israel trust in the LORD, for with the LORD there is mercy and plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from
all his sins.

Psalm 143 (numbered 142 in original)
The CXLII. A psalm of David.
Hear my prayer (o LORD) consider my desire: answer me for thy truth & righteousness sake. And enter not into judgment with thy servant,
for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy persecuteth my soul, he smiteth my life down to the ground, he layeth me
in the darkness, as the dead men of the world. Therefore is my spirit vexed within me, and my heart within me is desolate. Yet do I
remember times past, I muse upon all the works, yea I exercise myself in the works of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee, my
soul crieth unto thee out of the thirsty land. Selah. Hear me (o LORD) and that soon, for my spirit waxeth faint: hide not that face from
me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the grave. Oh let me hear thy loving kindness betimes in the morning, for in thee is my
trust: show thou me the way that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me (o LORD)from mine enemies, for I resort
unto thee.
Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth thee, for thou art my God: let thy loving spirit lead me forth unto the land of righteousness.
Quicken me (o LORDE) for thy names sake, and for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy goodness scatter mine
enemies abroad, and destroy all them that vex my soul, for I am thy servant.
