Psalms 77:3–4

²I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

³When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

²I powred out my complaint before him: I shewed before him my trouble.

³When my spirit was ouerwhelmed within mee, then thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked, haue they priuily laid a snare for me.

²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

²From the end of the earth wil I cry vnto thee, when my heart is ouerwhelmed: leade me to the rocke, that is higher then I.

²³For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

²³For destruction from God was a terrour to mee: and by reason of his highnesse, I could not endure.

¹¹Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

¹¹Therefore I will not refraine my mouth, I wil speake in the anguish of my spirit, I will complaine in the bitternesse of my soule.

¹⁷Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

¹⁷Be not a terrour vnto me, thou art my hope in the day of euill.

¹⁵Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

¹⁶For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

¹⁵Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

¹⁶For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

⁴For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

^4*For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee.

³⁹Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

^39‖Wherefore doeth a liuing man complaine, a man for the punishment of his sinnes?

³For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

⁷I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

⁸Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

¹⁰Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

¹¹My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

¹²But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

¹³Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

¹⁴For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

¹⁵So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁶When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

¹⁷He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.

¹⁹For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;

²⁰To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

²¹To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²²When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

²³He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁷But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

²⁸The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

^3‖For my dayes are consumed like smoke: and my bones are burnt as an hearth.

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grasse: so that I forget to eate my bread.

^5‖By reason of the voice of my groning, my bones cleaue to my skinne.

⁶I am like a Pelican of the wildernes: I am like an owle of the desert.

⁷I watch, and am as a sparowe alone vpon the house top.

⁸Mine enemies reproch me all the day: and they that are mad against me, are sworne against me.

⁹For I haue eaten ashes like bread: and mingled my drinke with weeping.

¹⁰Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me vp, and cast me downe.

^11*My dayes are like a shadow, that declineth: & I am withered like grasse.

¹²But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for euer: and thy remembrance vnto all generations.

¹³Thou shalt arise, and haue mercie vpon Zion: for the time to fauour her, yea the set time is come.

¹⁴For thy seruants take pleasure in her stones: and fauour the dust therof.

¹⁵So the heathen shall feare the Name of the LORD: and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁶When the LORD shall build vp Zion: he shall appeare in his glory.

¹⁷He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created, shall praise the LORD.

¹⁹For hee hath looked downe from the height of his Sanctuarie: from heauen did the LORD beholde the earth:

^20†To heare the groning of the prisoner: to loose those that are appointed to death:

²¹To declare the Name of the LORD in Zion: and his praise in Ierusalem:

²²When the people are gathered together: and the kingdomes to serue the LORD.

^23†He weakened my strength in the way: he shortened my dayes.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my dayes: thy yeres are throughout all generations.

^25*Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy hands.

^26†They shall perish, but thou shalt indure, yea all of them shall waxe old like a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalbe changed.

²⁷But thou art the same: and thy yeeres shall haue no end.

²⁸The children of thy seruants shal continue: and their seed shall be established before thee.

⁴Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

⁵I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

⁴Therefore is my spirit ouerwhelmed within me: my heart within me is desolate.

⁵I remember the dayes of old, I meditate on all thy workes: I muse on the worke of thy hands.

¹¹Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

¹¹Why art thou cast downe, O my soule? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

^5*Why art thou cast downe, O my soule? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God, for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

⁴My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

⁴My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me.

^5†Fearefulnesse and trembling are come vpon me, and horrour hath ouerwhelmed me.

¹⁷And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.

^17†And thou hast remoued my soule farre off from peace: I forgate prosperitie.

³For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

⁴I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

⁵Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

⁶Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

⁷Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

⁸Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁹Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

¹⁰Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

¹¹Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹²Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

¹⁴Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

¹⁵I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

¹⁶Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

¹⁷They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

¹⁸Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

³For my soule is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh vnto the graue.

⁴I am counted with them that go downe into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength.

^5‖Free among the dead, like the slaine that lie in the graue, whom thou remembrest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

¹³But vnto thee haue I cried, O LORD, and in the morning shall my prayer preuent thee.

¹⁴ LORD, why castest thou off my soule? why hidest thou thy face from me?
