verse 12 Mine age away from me is put, And moved as a shepherds tent: I weaver like my life off cut, With pining sickness he me spent Yea from the day the night until Thou quite an end of me wilt make. verse 13 I count from morning, that he will My bones all as a lion break:
From day to night thou wilt me waste. verse 14 Like crane or swallow chatter I, Dove-like I mourn, mine eyes up cast Do fail, Lord, help, oppressed am I. verse 15 What shall I say? to me he hath Both spoke•, and himself done this: I all my life with softly path, Shall walk in my souls bitterness.

verse 16 Lord, by these things men live, & thou By these my spirits life dost give: Thou wilt recover me also, And thou wilt make me for to live. verse 17 Lo, I for peace sharp grief did find, But […] my soul in love thou hast From pits corruption: for behind Thy back thou all my sins didst cast.
