4 Return, O Lord, deliver me; Do not this [sinful] soul forsake, Pity and save a humbled wretch, For thy own [tender] mercies sake.
5 The lifeless Corps in silent dust Remember not thy [holy] name; In darksome graves who give thee thanks▪ Or do thy [glorious] praise proclaim.
6 My flesh and soul are tired out With painful groans and [sinful] fears, ⟨p. 7⟩The night I spend in woeful moans, And wash my bed [and Touch] with tears.
6 My flesh and soul are tired out With painful groans and [sinful] fears, ⟨p. 7⟩The night I spend in woful moans, And wash my bed [and Touch] with tears.
