What great and perilous dangers the man that is troubled shall suffer for the time of his trouble.
What great and perillous daungers the man that is troubled shall suffer for the time of his trouble.
2 My soul refused comfort. 3 When I am in heaviness, I will think upon God: when my heart is vexed, I will complain. Sela. 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so feeble I can not speak. 5 I have considered the days of old: and the years that be past. 6 In the night I called to remembrance my song, and communed with mine own heart, and my spirit searched diligently: 7 Will the Lord absent him self for ever? and will he be no more entreated? 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? And is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore? ⟨image 90⟩9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? and will he shut up his loving kindness in displeasure?
