5 As a companion of the dead, Like those that slain in grave do lye; Whom thou hast cut off by thy hand, And dost put out their memory.
6 Thou layest me in the lowest pit, And as in deep and darksome caves;
6 Thou lay'st me in the lowest pit, And as in deep and darksom caves;
7 Thy wrath lies hard on me, and thou Afflictest me with all thy waves.
7 Thy wrath lyes hard on me, and thou Afflictest me with all thy waves.
8 My friends thou hast put far from me, To them as burdensome I grow; ⟨p. 146⟩In sorrows I am so shut up, That forth from thence I cannot go.
