4 I prayed and said to thee my God, [O] be [thou] merciful to me, And heal my soul of guilt and woe, That hath [by sin] offended thee.
4 I pray'd and said to thee my God, [O] be [thou] merciful to me, And heal my soul of guilt and woe, That hath [by sin] offended thee.
5 Mine enemies speak and wish me ill, And say, [How long] when will he dye? That so his name may be forgot, Or [buried] under slanders lye.
6 Or if he come to visit me, He speaketh [lies and] vanity, ⟨p. 67⟩His heart, to tell it all abroad, Gathers [it self] iniquity.
7 Against me they whisper and plot, [Then all] that are mine enemies; Together they some hurt or ill Against me [daily] do devise.
