Holde not thy t&obar;ge, O God, kepe not styll sylence, refrayne not thy self O God. For lo thyne enemyes make a murmurynge, and they that hate the haue lyft vp their heade. They haue ymagyned craftely agaynst thy people, and taken councell agaynst thy secrete ones.

They haue sayde: come, ∧ let vs rote th&ebar; out that they be nomore a people, ∧ that the name of Israel maye be nomore in remembraunce. B   For they haue cast their heades together wyth one consent, and are confederate agaynst the. The tabernacles of the Edomites and Ismaelytes, the Moabytes and Hagarenes. Gebal, and Ammon, &abar;d Amalech: þe; Philistynes with them þt; dwell at Tyre. Assur also is ioyned vnto them, and haue helped the chyldren of Loth. Sela.

But do thou to them ^note as vnto the Madianites, vnto Sisera, and vnto Iabin ^note at the broke of Kyson. Whych peryshed at Endor, and became as the donge of þe; earth.

Make them ∧ their prynces lyke ^note Oreb and Zeb. Yee, make all their Prynces lyke as Zebea and Salinana. Whych saye: let vs take to oure selues the houses of God in possessyon. C   O my God, make them lyke vnto a whele, &abar;d as ^note the stubble before þe; wynde.

Lyke as a fyre that burneth vp the wod, and as the flame that consumeth the mountaynes. Persecute them euen so with thy tempest, and make them afrayed wyth thy storme. Make their faces ashamed, O Lorde, that they maye seke thy name. Let them be c&obar;founded and vexed euer more and more: let them be put to shame and perish.

And they shall know, that thou (whose name is Iehoua) art only the moost hyest ouer all the earth.
