Holde not thy tonge (o God) kepe not
still syl&ebar;ce,, refrayne not þi; self, o God. note
For lo, thy enemies make a murmuringe,
∧ they þt; hate the, lift vp their heade.
They ymagin craftely agaynst thy people, ∧
take councell agaynst thy secrete ones. Come
(saye they) let vs rote them out from amonge
the people, that the name of Israel maye
be put out of rem&ebar;braunce. For they haue
cast their heades together with one consent,
∧ are c&obar;federate agaynst the. The tabernacles
of the Edomites ∧ Ismaelites, the Moabites
∧ Hagarenes. Gebal, Ammon and
Amalech: the Philistynes with them that
-- --
dwell at Tyre. Assur also is ioyned vnto th&ebar;
∧ helpe the children of Loth. Sela.
But do thou to them as vnto the Madianites,
vnto Sisera and vnto Iabin by þe; broke
of Cyson. noteWhich perished at Endor, ∧
became as the d&obar;ge of þe; earth.
B Make their
prynces like Oreb and Zeeb: note Yee make all
their prynces like as Zebea and Salmana.
Which saye: we wil haue the houses of
God in possession? O my God, make them
like vnto a whele, note and as the stuble before
the wynde. Like as a fyre that burneth vp
the wodd, ∧ as the flame that consumeth the
mountaynes. Persecute them euen so with
thy tempest, ∧ make them afrayed with thy
storme. Make their faces ashamed (o LORDE)
þt; they maye seke thy name. Let th&ebar; be
c&obar;founded ∧ vexed euer more ∧ more: Let th&ebar;
be put to shame ∧ perish. That they maye
knowe, that thou art alone, that thy name is
the LORDE, and that thou only art the most
hyest ouer all the earth.
