1. I am the man which have affliction seen, / Under the rod of God's wrath having been; / 2. He hath led me to darkness, not to light, / 3. And against me all day, His hand doth fight.

4. He hath broke my bones, worn out my flesh and skin, / 5. Built up against me; and hath girt me in / With hemlock, and with labour; 6. And set me / In dark, as they who dead forever be.
