¶2; The argument of the .xciiii. Psalme.
¶ The prophete calleth vpon God earnestly for to take avengeaunce of the wicked who
do afflict the innocent without cause. He complayneth of their outragiousnesse and
tiranny. He reproueth them of foolishnesse, in that they thynke and say that God seeth
them not, for God knoweth their wickednesse, and seeth their priuie thoughtes. And
in punishyng them, he shall cause the good to lyue vprightly, who fyndeth no ayde against
the wicked but only God. For God fauoureth no iniquitie, it is he that wyll
destroy all them that oppresse the innocent.
A
1 O God the Lord of [all] auengeaunce:
the Lorde of [all] auengeaunce
shewe thy [glorious maiestie.]
2 Be exalted O thou iudge of the world:
and rewarde the proude after their deseruyng.
-- --
Moneth the .xviii. day.
3 O God howe long shall the vngodly:
howe long shall the vngodly triumph?
4 All such as be workers of iniquitie: they
babble, they prate shoutly, they make
boastes of them selues.
5 They oppresse thy people O God: and
they afflict thine heritage.
6 They murther the wyddowe and the
straunger: ∧ put the fatherlesse to death.
B
7 And they say, tushe the Lorde seeth it
not: neither doth the God of Iacob vnderstande
it.
8 Understande ye vnwyse among the
people: O ye fooles, when wyll ye be
well aduised?
9 He that hath planted the eare, shall he
not heare? yf he shapeth the eye, shall
he not see?
10 He that chasteneth the heathen, shall
not he punishe? it is he that teacheth
man knowledge.
11 God knoweth the thoughtes of man:
that they are but vanitie.
12 Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom
thou wylt chasten: and whom thou
wylt instruct in thy lawe.
13 That thou mayest geue hym note patience
in tyme of aduersitie: vntyll the pyt be
digged vp for the vngodly.
Euenyng prayer.
C
14 For God wyll not reiect his people:
neither wil he forsake his inheritaunce.
15 For note iudgement shalbe reduced vnto
iustice: and after it shall all such as be
vpryght of heart [be iudged.]
16 Who will ryse vp with me agaynst the
malicious? or who wyll take my part agaynst
workers of wickednesse?
17 If God had not ben an ayde vnto me:
it had not fayled much but my soule had
dwelled note in silence.
18 But when I sayde my foote hath
slypped: thy mercy O God helde me vp.
19 In the multitude of my cogitations
from the bottome of my heart: thy comfortes
dyd recreate my soule.
20 Shall the seate of wickednesse haue
any thyng to do with thee: which [seate]
maketh note wrong to be enacted for a law?
21 They flocke together agaynst the soule
of the ryghteous: and condemne the innocent
blood.
22 But God is to me a refuge: and my
Lorde is the rocke of my confidence.
23 And he wyll recompence them their
wickednesse, and destroy them in their
owne malice: God our Lorde wyll destroy
them.
