Lord God, how long wilt thou afflict my soul?
How long wilt thou cast me down to shame?
Thou hast destroyed me with thy wrath,
Day and night I am made to weep,
Thou hast set me in the midst of the enemy,
And hast persecuted my soul,
That every life and strength has gone from me,
Why hast thou dealt wickedly with me, O Lord?
Why hast thou beset my soul with trials?
Thou hast tried my ways, and have found no error,
I have been faithful,
Mine friends have I forsaken,
I have not denied thy name,
Neither have I chosen to stand amongst the unrighteous,
Yet wilt thou still afflict me?
I have no no breath, and my soul is near death,
Shalt thou still trouble me?
Shalt thou maketh my enemies to mock me
After I have held my faith in thee?
Let me alone, I pray thee,
Be merciful unto me, and grant me a little peace,
Search my heart, and tell me what thou judgeth, whether it be good or evil,
For if I have done thee wrong,
Cast my sin as far away from me,
But if I have done thee good,
Be faithful unto me, and uphold me,
Return unto me, and restore my soul that I may live.
Reason with God
