Your Royal Majesty, I am arrived! I, your Humble servant of the post office. Thank you young one. Herewith I bestow you a charge. This small scroll must with all haste be brought unto the chief Musician of the Court! See here the inscription designating its precious contents: "Herein is written A Psalm of David!” How long wilt thou forget me? O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? O Lord? for ever? How long shall I take counsel in my soul? O Lord? for ever? How long this daily sorrow in my heart? O Lord? for ever? How long my enemy? O Lord? for ever? How long to be exalted over me? O Lord? for ever? Consider, O Lord my God And hear me, O Lord my God Lighten mine eyes, O Lord my God O Lord my God! Lest I slip into the sleep of death Lest mine enemy say I have prevailed Against him!!! O Lord my God! And when I am moved O Lord my God! Those that trouble me rejoice But Lord my God! I have trusted in thy mercy And Lord My heart Shall rejoice in thy salvation. O Lord my God! I will sing unto the Lord O Lord! Forever! Because he hath… Dealt bountifully, with me, O Lord, Forever!
