PSALM CII. A Prayer of the Afflicted when that be is over whelmed, and poureth out his sad Complaint before the ETERNAL God.
1 O Thou ETERNAL God, Do Thou ‖ my Supplication hear; ‖ and my loud Cry made in Distress, ‖ let it arrive to Thee, ‖
2 In the Day of my Trouble, Oh! ‖ Hide not thy Face from me; ‖ Bow thine Ear to me, in the Day ‖ I call, soon answer me. ‖
3 For as the Smoke does pass away ‖ so are my Days consumed; ‖ and as the Wood laid on the Hearth ‖ my Bones are burned up.
3 For as the Smoak does pass away ‖ so are my Days consum'd; ‖ and as the Wood laid on the Hearth ‖ my Bones are burned up.
