O Lord, how long wilt thou forget, | |||
to send mee some relife, | |||
For ever wilt thou hide thy face, | |||
and so increase my griefe? | |||
How long shall I with vexed heart, | |||
seeke counsell in my spirit? | |||
How long shall my malicious foes, | |||
and | triumph and mee despite? | ||
O Lord my God, heare my complaint, | |||
uttered with wofull breath: | |||
Lighten mine eyes, defend my lyfe, | |||
that I sleep not in death. | |||
Least that mine enemie say, I have | |||
against him loe prevayl’d: | |||
At my downefall they will rejoyce, | |||
that | that thus have mee assayl’d. | ||
But in thy mercie Lord I trust, | |||
for that shall mee defend: | |||
My heart doth joye, to see the help, | |||
which thou to mee wilt send. | |||
Unto the Lord therefore I sing, | |||
and do lift up my voyce: | |||
And for his goodnesse shew’d to mee, | |||
I will alway rejoyce. | |||
Unto the Lord therefore I sing, | |||
and do lift up my voyce: | |||
And for his goodnesse shew’d to mee, | |||
I will alway rejoyce. | |||

O Lord, how long wilt thou forget,
to send mee some relife,
For ever wilt thou hide thy face,
and so increase my griefe?
How long shall I with vexed heart,
seeke counsell in my spirit?
How long shall my malicious foes,
triumph and mee despite?
O Lord my God, heare my complaint,
uttered with wofull breath:
Lighten mine eyes, defend my lyfe,
that I sleep not in death.
Least that mine enemie say, I have
against him loe prevayl’d:
At my downefall they will rejoyce,
that thus have mee assayl’d.
But in thy mercie Lord I trust,
for that shall mee defend:
My heart doth joye, to see the help,
which thou to mee wilt send.
Unto the Lord therefore I sing,
and do lift up my voyce:
And for his goodnesse shew’d to mee,
I will alway rejoyce.
(Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 13)
