¶2; The argument of the .cii. Psalme.
¶ The prophete desireth God to heare hym, vtteryng his godly affect and great griefe for
the calamities of the people of God ∧ desolation of the citie of Sion. He setteth foorth
the reproches and outragious behauiours of the enemies, and his affliction of mynde
for it. He wisheth that the people may returne home agayne, and that Sion may be reedified,
that Gods glorie may therin be set foorth. And he consideryng the eternitie of
God, assureth hym selfe that God wyll perfourme his promises, in grauntyng that the
children of his people shall lyue for euer.

O God: and let
my crying come in
vnto thee.
2 Hyde not thy face
from me in þe; day
of my distresse:
encline thine eare
vnto me, heare me
spedyly in the day that I call.
3 For my dayes are consumed away like
smoke: and my bones are burnt vp as

4 My heart is smitten downe and wythered
lyke grasse: because I did forget
to eate my bread.
5 Through the noyse of my gronyng:
my bones wyll scase cleaue to my fleshe.
6 I am become lyke a Pellicane of the
wildernesse, and like an Owle that is in
the desert: I watch, and am as it were
a sparrowe that sitteth alone vpon the
house toppe.

7 Myne enemies reuile me all the day
long: and they that are in a rage against

8 For I haue eaten asshes as it were
bread, and mingled my drynke with
weepyng, note because of thine indignation
and wrath: for thou hast set me vp, and
cast me downe.
9 My dayes fade away lyke a shadowe:
and I am wythered lyke grasse.

and thy remembraunce throughout all
generations.
11 Thou wylt aryse vp, thou wylt haue
compassion vpon Sion: for it is tyme
that thou haue mercie vpon her, for the
tyme appoynted is come.
12 For thy seruauntes be well affected
towarde her stones: and it note pitieth

them to see her in the dust.
13 And the heathen wyll feare thy name
O God: and all the kynges of the earth
thy glorious maiestie.
C
14 For God wyll buylde vp Sion: to be
seene in his glorious maiestie.
15 He wyll regarde the prayer of the
note humble destitute of all helpe: and he
wyll not dispise their prayer.
16 This shalbe written for those that

borne, shall prayse the Lorde.
17 For he hath loked downe from his
high sanctuarie: out of heauen did God
beholde the earth.
18 That he might heare the mourninges
of such as be note in captiuitie: and delyuer
the note children of death.
19 That they may declare þe; name of God
in Sion: and his prayse at Hierusalem.
Mornyng prayer.

21 But I say, O my God take me not
away in the middest of myne age: as
for thy yeres, they endure throughout
all generations.
22 Thou hast before tyme layde the foundation
of the earth: and the heauens
are the worke of thy handes.
23 They shall perishe, but thou wylt remayne
styll: they all shall waxe olde as
doth a garment, and as a vesture thou
wylt chaunge them, and they shalbe
chaunged.
24 But thou art, and thy yeres can not
fayle: the children of thy seruauntes
shal dwell, and their seede shalbe maynteyned
in thy syght.
