6 In health and sweet prosperity My [careless] heart affected was, As if I never should be mov'd, And see what [after] came to pass.
7 For thy great savour, Lord, did seem To make my [present] state secure; My mountain of prosperity Did seem so [settled] strong and sure. But when (offended by my sin) Thou hidest from me thy [pleased] face, My painful flesh and troubled soul Did [quickly] feel a changed case.

8 Then did I cry to thee, O Lord, When [pain and] danger bid me pray; I poured out before the Lord My [earnest] suit both night and day.
