For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath humbled my life to the earth.
He hath made me dwell in darkness, as those who have been dead of old: my spirit is in anguish upon me, and my heart is troubled within me.
I remember the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: on the works of thy hands did I meditate.
I stretched forth my hands to thee: unto thee my soul is as earth without water.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away.
Turn not away thy face from me: lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning: for I have hoped in thee.
Make the way known to me wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord: to thee have I fled: teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God.
Thy good spirit shall conduct me into the way of righteousness; for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice.
Thou wilt bring forth my soul out of tribulation: and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies.
And thou wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. Glory, &c.
Remember not, O Lord, our offences, nor those of our parents: and take not revenge of our sins.
Lord have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us. Christ hear us. Christ graciously hear us. God the Father of heaven, _have mercy on us._
