PSAL. XXXIX. 1 Dauid vttereth with what great griefe and bitternesse of minde hee was driuen to these outragious complaintes of his infirmities. 2 For hee confesseth that when he had determined silence, that he brast foorth yet into wordes that he would not, through the greatnes of his griefe. 4 Then he rehearseth certaine requestes which taste of the infirmitie of man, 8 And mixeth with them many prayers: but all doe shewe a minde wonderfully troubled, that it may plainely appeare how he did striue mightily against death and desperation.

Mans vanitie. ¶2; To the excellent musician note Ieduthun. A Psalme of Dauid.


1   I thought, note I will take heede to my wayes, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in my sight.


2   I was dumme & spake nothing: I kept sil&ebar;ce euen from good, note and my sorow was more stirred.


3   Mine heart was hote within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindeled, and note I spake with my tongue, saying,


4   Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue.


5   Beholde, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely euery man in his best state is altogether note vanitie. Selah.


6   Doubtlesse man walketh in a shadowe, and disquieteth himselfe in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.


7   And now Lord, what wait I for? mine hope is euen in thee.


8   Deliuer me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke vnto the note foolish.


9   I should haue bene dumme, and not haue opened my mouth, because note thou didest it.


10   Take thy plague away from mee: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand.


11   When thou &wt; rebukes doest chastise man for iniquitie, thou as a mothe note makest his note beautie to consume: surely euery man is vanitie. Selah.


12   Heare my prayer, O Lord, & hearken vnto my cry: keepe not silence at my teares, for I am a str&abar;ger with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers.


13   Stay thine anger from me, that I may recouer my strength, note before I go hence and be not.
