verse 7 Filled are my loins with loathsome soar, And there's no soundness in my flesh. verse 8 Weak am I, and sore broke, I roar, By reason of my hearts distress. verse 9 With thee, Lord, is all my desire, My groaning is not hid from thee. verse 10 My heart doth pant, my strength doth tire, And mine eyes sight is gone from me

verse 11 My sore my lovers stand there fro, My friends stand off, my kinsmen eke, verse 12 Who seek my life lay snares also, Who seek mine hurt, they mischief speak, And all day long imagine guile. verse 13 But as one deaf, I did not hear. ⟨p. 102⟩I as a dumb man was the while, Whose mouth at all not open were.
verse 14 As one that heareth not was I, And in whose mouth reproofs none were. verse 15 For I, O Lord on thee rely, O Lord my God thou wilt me hear. verse 16 O hear thou me, because, said I, Else they will joy o'er me with pride: Themselves 'gainst me they magnify, When as my foot doth slip aside.
