Epa. How long wilt thou forget me (O Lord) for ever?1 How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?2 O how long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart? How long shall mine enemy triumph over me? Consider & here me (O Lord, my God) lighten mine eyes that I sleep not in death, least mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him. If I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it. But my trust is in thy mercy, & my hart is joyful in thy salvation. I again for this thy loving kindness, will praise thy holy name.
