1 It semeth that this praier was appointed to the faithful to praie in the captivitie of Babylon. 16 A consolation for the building of the Church: 18 Whereof followeth the praise of God to be published unto all posteritie. 22 The conversion of the Gentiles,
2.Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine ears unto me: when I call, make haste to hear me.
5.For the voice of my groaning my bones do cleave to my skin.
7.I watch and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
11.My daies are like a shadow that fadeth, and I am withered like grass.
15.Then the heathen shal fear the Name of the Lord, and all the Kings of the earth thy glorie,
17.And shal turn unto the praier of the desolate, and not despise their praier.
19.For he hath looked down from the height of his Sanctuary: out of the heaven, did the Lord behold the earth,
21.That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Zión, and his praise in Jerusalém,
24.And I said, O my God, take me not away in the middes of my daies: thy yeres endure from generation to generation.
25.Thou hast aforetime laied the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thine hands.
27.But thou art the same, and thy years shal not fail.
