A Plea for Merciful Deliverance

Psalms 109:21-29

But thou, O Lord my God, deale with me according vnto thy Name: deliuer me, (for thy mercie is good)

Because I am poore and needie, and mine heart is wounded within me.

I depart like the shadowe that declineth, and am shaken off as the grashopper.

My knees are weake through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatnes.

I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.

Helpe me, O Lord my God: saue me according to thy mercie.

And they shall know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it.

Though they curse, yet thou wilt blesse: they shall arise and be confounded, but thy seruant shall reioyce.

Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame, and let them couer themselues with their confusion, as with a cloke.
