English text

Lord in thy wrath reprove me not,
though I deserve thine ire:
Ne yet correct me in thy rage,
O Lord I thee desire.

For I am weak, therefore (O Lord)
of mercie me forbeare:
And heale me lord, for why? thou know’st,
my bons do quake for feare.

(Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 6: 1-2)
