Thy dreadful anger, Lord, restrain,
And spare a wretch forlorn:
Correct me not in thy fierce wrath,
Too heavy to be borne.

Have mercy, Lord, for I grow faint,
Unable to endure
The anguish of my aching bones,
Which thou alone canst cure.

My tortur'd flesh distracts my mind,
And fills my soul with grief:
But, Lord, how long wilt thou delay
To grant me thy relief?

Thy wonted goodness, Lord, repeat,
And ease my troubled soul:
Lord, for thy wondrous mercy's sake
Vouchsafe to make me whole.
