¶ The .cii. Psalme. DOMINE EXAVDI ORATIONEM. A prayer of the afflyct, when he hath an heuy hart, and powereth out hys complaynte before the Lorde.

A    noteHeare my prayer, O Lorde, &abar;d lett my cryenge come in vnto the.

Hyde not thy face fro me in the tyme of my trouble: &ebar;clyne thyne eares vnto me when I call, O heare me, and þt; ryght soone. For my dayes are c&obar;sumed awaye lyke smoke, &abar;d my bones are brent vp, as it were a fyre brande. My hert is smytten downe and wythered lyke grasse, so that I forget to eate my bred. For the voyce of my gronynge, my bone wyll scarse cleue to my flesh. I am become lyke a Pellycane of þe; wildernes, &abar;d lyke an owle þt; is in þe; deserte. B   I haue watched, ∧ am eu&ebar; as it were a sparow, that sitteth alone vpon the house toppe. Myne enemyes reuyle me all the daye l&obar;ge: ∧ they that are madd vp&obar; me, are sworne together agaynst me. For I haue eaten ashes as at were bred, and m&ebar;gled my drynck with wepynge. And that because of thyne indignacyon ∧ wrath, for thou hast taken me vp, ∧ cast me downe. My dayes are gone lyke a shadowe, and I am wythered lyke grasse. But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for euer, and thy remembraunce thorow out all generacyons. Thou shalt aryse, ∧ haue mercy vp&obar; Sion, for it is tyme that thou haue mercy vp&obar; her, yee the tyme is come. C   And why: note thy serua&ubar;tes thinck vpon her stones, and it pitieth them to se her in the dust. The Heath&ebar; shall feare thy name, O Lord, ∧ all the kynges of the earth thy maiesty. Whan the Lord shall buylde vp Sion, and whan his glory shal apeare:

Whan he turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore destitute, ∧ despyseth not theyr desyre. This shalbe wrytten for those that come after: note ∧ þe; people which shalbe borne, shall prayse the Lord. For he hath loked downe from his S&abar;ctuary, out of the heauen dyd the Lorde beholde þe; earth. That he might heare the mournynges of soch as be in captiuite, and delyuer the chyldren appoynted vnto death. That they maye declare the name of the Lorde in Sion, D   &abar;d his worshipe at Ierusalem:Wh&ebar; the people are gathered together, ∧ þe; kyngdomes also to serue the Lorde. He brought downe my strength in my iourney, and shortened my dayes. But I sayed: O my God, take me not awaye in the myddest of myne age: as for thy yeares, they endure thorow out all generacions. noteThou Lorde in the begynnyng hast layed the foundacyon of the earth, and the heauens are the worcke of thy handes. They shall perishe, but thou shalt &ebar;dure: they all shall wexe olde as doth a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them, and they shalbe cha&ubar;ged. But thou art þe; same, and thy yeares shall not fayle. The childr&ebar; of thy serua&ubar;tes shall c&obar;tynue, ∧ their sede shall stonde fast in thy syght.
