Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A prayer of the afflycte, when he was in woo, and powered oute hys complaynte before the Lord. Heare my prayer, O Lord, & and lette my crienge come vnto the. ² Hyde not thy face fro me in the tyme of my trouble encline thyne eares vnto me when I call, O heare me, and that ryghte sone. ³ For my dayes are consumed awaye lyke smoke, and my bones are brent vp as it were a fyre brande. ⁴ My herte smytten doune and wythered lyke grasse, so that I forgette too eate my bread. ⁵ For the voyce of my gronynge, my bone wil scarse cleue to my flesh. ⁶ I am be come lyke a Pellicane in the wildernes, and lyke an owle in a broken wal. ⁷ I wake, and am euen as it were a sparow sittinge alone vpon the house toppe. ⁸ Myne enemyes reuyle me all the daye longe, they laugh me to scorne, & are sworne together agaynst me. ⁹ I eate ashes with my bread, and myngle my drynke with wepynge. ¹⁰ And that because of thyne indignacion & wrath, for thou hast taken me vp, and caste me awaye. ¹¹ My dayes are gone lyke a shadowe, and I am wythered lyke grasse. ¹² But thou O Lord, endurest for euer, and thy remembraunce thorow out all generacyons. ¹³ Aryse therfore & haue mercy vpon Sion, for it is time to haue mercy vpon her, yea, the tyme is come. ¹⁴ And why? thy seruauntes haue a loue too her stones, and it pitieth them to se her in the dust. ¹⁵ The Heathen shal feare thy name, O Lord, and all the kynges of the earth thy maiesty. ¹⁶ For the Lorde shall buylde vp Sion, and shall apeare in hys glory. ¹⁷ He turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore destitute, & despiseth not their desyre. ¹⁸ This shalbe wrytten for those that come after, that the people whiche shalbe borne, maye prayse the Lorde. ¹⁹ For he loketh doune from hys Sanctuary, out of the heauen doth the Lorde beholde the earth. ²⁰ That he maye heare the mournynges of such as be in captiuitie, and deliuer the chyldren of death. ²¹ That they maye preache the name of the Lorde in Sion, and his worshippe at Hierusalem. ²² When the people are gathered together, & the kyngdomes also to serue the Lord. ²³ He hath brought doune my strength in my iourney, and shortened my dayes. ²⁴ Yet will I saye: O my God, take me not away in the myddest of myne age: as for thy yeares, they endure thorowe out all generacions. ²⁵ Thou Lorde in the beginnyng hast layed the foundacion of the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thy handes. ²⁶ They shal perish, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wexe olde as doth a garment, & as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them, & they shalbe chaunged. ²⁷ But thou art the same, & thy yeares shall not fayle. ²⁸ The chyldren of thy seruauntes shall continue, and their sede shall prospere in thy sighte.
