My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so farre from my health, and from the wordes of my complaynt? 2 O my God I crye all the day tyme, and in the night season, and I ceasse not: but thou hearest not. 3 And yet thou most holy: sittest to receaue the prayers of Israel. 4 Our fathers hoped in thee: they trusted in thee, & thou didst deliuer them. 5 They called vpon thee, and they were helped: they did put their trust in thee, and they were not confounded. 6 But as for me I am a worme and no man: a very scorne of men, and an outcast of the people. 7 All they that see me, laugh me to scorne: they do make a mowe, and nod their head at me. 8 Saying he referreth all to God, loking that God wyll deliuer him and rescue him: for he delighteth only in him. 9 But thou art he that tokest me out of my mothers wombe: thou causedst me to trust in thee, suckyng my mothers breastes. 10 I haue ben left vnto thee euer since I was borne: thou art my God euen from my mothers wombe. 11 O go not far fro me, for trouble is harde at hande: and there is none to helpe me. 12 Many oxen are come about me: fat bulles of Bashan close me in on euery syde. 13 They gape vpon me with their mouthes: as it were a rampyng and a roryng lion. 14 I am as it were into water resolued, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart also is like waxe melted in the middest of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried vp like a potsheard, & my tongue cleaueth to my gummes: and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogges are come about me, the assemble of the wicked lay siege agaynst me: they haue pearced my handes and my feete, I may tell all my bones. 17 I may tell all my bones. They stande staring & gasing vpon me: 18 they part my garmentes among them, and they cast lottes vpon my vesture. 19 But be not thou farre from me O God: thou art my strength, make haste to helpe me. 20 Delyuer my soule from the sworde: and my dearlyng from the dogges pawes. 21 Saue me from the Lions mouth: delyuer me from the hornes of the Unicornes. 22 I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren: I wyll prayse thee in the middest of the congregation. 23 Saying prayse ye God ye that feare hym: glorifie hym all ye of the seede of Iacob, and stande in awe of hym all ye of the seede of Israel. 24 For he hath not dispised nor abhorred the affliction of the poore: he hath not hyd his face from hym, but he hearde hym when he cryed vnto hym. 25 My prayse shalbe of thee in the great congregation: I wyll perfourme my vowes in the syght of them that feare hym. 26 The poore shall eate, and be satisfied: they that seeke after God shall prayse hym, your heart shall lyue for euer. 27 All the endes of the worlde shall remember them selues and be turned vnto God: and all the kinredes of the nations shall worshyp before thy face. 28 For the kingdome is Gods: and he is the gouernour ouer the nations. 29 All such as be fat vpon the earth shall eate and worshyp: all they that go downe in to the dust shall knele before hym, although he preserued not his owne lyfe. 30 The posteritie shall serue hym: they shalbe counted vnto the Lorde for a generation. 31 They wyll come and declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shalbe borne: for he hath done it.
• Ps 69:1-9 : 1 To the chiefe musition vpon Sosanim (a psalme) of Dauid. Saue me O Lorde: for waters haue entred in vnto my soule. 2 I am ouer the head in deepe myre where I feele no grounde: I plunge in deepe waters where the streame ouerwhelmeth me. 3 I am weery of crying, my throte is drye: my syght fayleth me through the long attendaunce that I haue geuen vpon my Lorde. 4 They that hate me without a cause are mo then the heeres of my head: they that are myne enemies and woulde destroy me giltlesse are mightie, I payde them the thynges that I neuer toke. 5 God thou knowest my folly: and my faultes are not hyd from thee. 6 Let not them that trust in thee O Lorde God of hoastes, be for my cause ashamed: let not those that seke thee, be through me confounded O Lorde of Israel. 7 For thy sake haue I suffered reprofe, shame hath couered my face: 8 I am become a straunger vnto my brethren, euen an aliaunt vnto my mothers children. 9 For the zeale of thine house hath euen eaten me: and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me. 10 And I wept chastenyng my soule with fastyng: and that was turned to my reproofe. 11 Also I put on sackcloth for my garment: and they iested at me. 12 They that sit in the gate speake agaynst me: and they that drynke strong drynke make songes vpon me. 13 But I make my prayer vnto thee O God in an acceptable tyme: heare me O Lord in the multitude of thy mercie, according to the trueth of thy saluation. 14 Take me out of the myre, that I sincke not: oh let me be delyuered from them that hate me, & out of the deepe waters. 15 Let not the water fludde drowne me, neither let the deepe swalowe me vp: & let not the pyt shut her mouth vpon me. 16 Heare me O God, for thy louyng kindnesse is comfortable: turne thee vnto me accordyng vnto the multitude of thy mercies. 17 And hyde not thy face from thy seruaunt, for I am in trouble: O haste thee and heare me. 18 Draw nigh vnto my soule & redeeme it: for myne enemies sake oh redeeme me. 19 Thou hast knowen my reproofe, my shame, and my dishonour: myne aduersaries are all in thy syght. 20 Reproofe hath broke my heart a peeces, I am full of heauinesse: I loked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none, and for some that shoulde comfort me, but I coulde fynde none. 21 They gaue me for meate, gall to eate: and when I was thirstie, they gaue me vineger to drynke. 22 Let their table be as a snare before them: and in steade of aboundaunce of peace, let it be a meanes of destruction. 23 Let their eyes be blynded that they see not: and euer bowe downe their loynes. 24 Powre out thine indignation vpon them: and let thy wrathfull displeasure take holde of them. 25 Let their habitation be desolate: and let no man dwell in their tabernacles. 26 For they persecute hym whom thou hast smitten: and they talke of the griefe of them whom thou hast wounded. 27 Let them fall from one wickednesse to another: and let them not enter into thy ryghteousnesse. 28 Let them be wyped out of the booke of the lyuyng: and not to be written among the ryghteous. 29 As for me I am afflicted and in heauinesse: thy sauing helpe O Lorde shal defende me. 30 I wyll prayse the name of the Lorde with a song: and magnifie hym with a solemne confession. 31 And it wyll please God: better then a bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes. 32 The humble wyll consider this and be glad, such as seke after God: and your soule shall lyue. 33 For God heareth the poore: & dispiseth not his prisoners. 34 Let heauen and earth prayse hym: the sea and all that moueth therin. 35 For the Lorde wyll saue Sion, and builde the cities of Iehuda: that men may dwel there and haue it in possession. 36 The posteritie also of his seruauntes shall inherite it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therin.
• Isa 53:1-9 : 1 But who hath geuen credence vnto our preaching? or to whom is the arme of the Lorde knowen? 2 For he dyd growe before the Lorde like as a braunche, and as a roote in a drye grounde, he hath neither beautie nor fauour: when we loke vpon hym, there shalbe no fairenesse, we shall haue no lust vnto hym. 3 He is dispised and abhorred of men, he is such a man as hath good experience of sorowes and infirmities: We haue reckened hym so vile, that we hyd our faces from hym. 4 Howbeit, he only hath taken on him our infirmitie, and borne our paynes: Yet we dyd iudge hym as though he were plagued, and cast downe of God. 5 Wheras he notwithstandyng was wounded for our offences, and smitten for our wickednesse: for the payne of our punishment was layde vpon hym, and with his stripes are we healed. 6 As for vs we are all gone astray lyke sheepe, euery one hath turned his owne way: but the Lord hath throwen vpon hym all our sinnes. 7 He suffered violence, and was euyll intreated, and dyd not open his mouth: He shalbe led as a sheepe to be slayne, yet shall he be as styll as a lambe before the shearer, and not open his mouth. 8 From the prison and iudgement was he taken, and his generation who can declare? for he was cut of from the grounde of the lyuyng, which punishment dyd go vpon hym for the transgression of my people. 9 His graue was geuen hym with the condempned, and with the riche man at his death, wheras he did neuer violence nor vnright, neither hath there ben any disceiptfulnesse in his mouth. 10 Yet hath it pleased the Lord to smite hym with infirmitie, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for sinne, he might see long lastyng seede: and this deuice of the Lorde shall prosper in his hande. 11 Of the trauayle and labour of his soule, shall he see the fruite & be satisfied: My righteous seruaunt shall with his knowledge iustifie the multitude, for he shall beare their sinnes. 12 Therfore wyll I geue hym among the great ones his part, and he shall deuide the spoyle with the mightie, because he geueth ouer his soule to death, and is reckened among the transgressours: which neuerthelesse hath taken away the sinnes of the multitude, and made intercession for the misdoers.
• Dan 9:24-26 : 24 Seuetie weekes are determined ouer thy people, & ouer thy holy citie, to finish the wickednes, and to seale vp ye sinnes, and to reconcile the iniquitie, & to bring in euerlasting righteousnes, to seale vp the vision and prophecie, & to annoynt the most holy. 25 Knowe therfore and vnderstand, that from the going foorth of the commaudement, to bring againe the people and to builde Hierusalem, vnto Messiah the prince, there shalbe seuen weekes and threescore and two weekes: and the streete shalbe built againe, and the wall, euen in the straitnes of time. 26 After these threescore & two weekes shall Messiah be slaine, & not for him selfe: and the people of the prince that shal come, shall destroy the citie and the sanctuarie, and the ende thereof shalbe with a fludde, and vnto the ende of the battel it shalbe destroyed by desolatios.
