| Lyrics: Psalm 6paraphrased in sonnet by Francesco Bembo,english'd by R.H. Lord, in thy wrath reprove me not severely, Nor punish me in thy deserv'd displeasure: Have mercy on my sins exceeding measure, For full of fears, my soul is vexed drearly. Save it (O Lord) Almighty - most supernal, Save it (alas) from th'ever-never dying: For who in deep hell (and fierce torments frying) Shall sing thy praise, or can extoll th'eternal? Long have I languish'd in my grievous sorrows, My bed and bosom with my tears I water; My foes' despite hath ploughed my face with furrows. But (now my soul) let the ungodly scatter: Hence ye wicked, sith God (so gracious for us) Hath heard my moan, and doth regard my matter. |
