Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  I CRIED unto the Lord with my voice : yea, even unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

2  I poured out my complaints before him : and shewed him of my trouble.

3  When my spirit was in heaviness thou knewest my path : in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

4  I looked also upon my right hand : and saw there was no man that would know me.

5  I had no place to flee unto : and no man cared for my soul.

6  I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said : Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.

7  Consider my complaint : for I am brought very low.

8  O deliver me from my persecutors : for they are too strong for me.

9  Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy Name : which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.
