|
| 1. Thy chastening wrath, O Lord! restrain,
Though we deserve it all;
Nor on us let the dreadful storm
Of thy displeasure fall.
2. In ev'ry wretched part of me
thy arrows deep remain;
Thy heavy hand's afflicting weight
I can no more sustain.
3. My flesh is one continued wound,
thy wrath so fiercely glows,
Betwixt my punishment and guilt
my bones have no repose.
4. Our sins, which to a deluge swell,
our sinking head o'erflow,
And for oury feeble strength to bear
too vast a burden grow.
5. Stench and corruption fill my wounds,
my folly's just return;
With trouble I am warped and bowed,
and all day long I mourn.
6. A loathed disease afflicts my loins,
infecting ev'ry part;
With sickness worn, I groan and roar,
through anguish of my heart.
7. **alt verses
8. Thy chast'ning wrath, O Lord, restrain,
though I deserve it all;
Nor let at once on me the storm
of thy displeasure fall.
9. My sins, that to a deluge swell,
my sinking head o'erflow,
And for my feeble strength to bear
too vast a burden grow.
