Chap. IX.
note
Iudith in hearecloth & ashes prayeth for the deliuerie of the people, remembering
like benefites of God. 12. craueth powre to ouerthrow Holofernes.
1 VVho going away, Iudith note went into her oratorie:
and clothing her self with hearecloth, put ashes
vpon her head: and falling prostrate to our Lord, she cried to
our Lord, saying:
2 Lord God of may father Simeon, who
gauest him a sword for defenee against strangers, which were
rauishers in their coinquination, and discouered the virgine
vnto confusion:
3 and gauest their wemen into praye, and
their daughters into captiuitie: and al the praye to be diuided
to thy seruantes, which were zelous in note thy zele: helpe I bebesech
thee ô lord God me a widow.
4 For thou hast done
the thinges heretofore, and hast purposed one thing after an
other: and that hath bene done which thou wouldest.
5 For
al thy wayes are readie, and thy iudgementes thou hast put in
thy prouidence.
6 Looke vpon the campe of the Assyrians
now, as thou didst voutsafe to see the campe of the Ægyptians,
-- --
when they ran armed after thy seruantes, trusting in
chariotes, and in their horsemen, and in a multitude of men
of warre.
7 But thou didst looke ouer their campe. and darkenesse
wearied them.
8 The depth held their feete, and the
waters ouerwhelmed them.
9 So let these also be made ô
Lord, which trust in their multitude, and in their chariotes,
and in pikes, and in shieldes, and in their arrowes, and glorie
in their speares,
10 and know not thy self art our God, which
destroyest warres from the beginning, and Lord is thy name.
11 Lift vp thyne arme as from the beginning, and dash their
power in thy power: let their power fal in thy wrath, which
promise that they wil violate thy holie thinges, and pollute
the tabernacle of thy holie name, & with their sword throw
downe the horne of thyne altar.
12 Bring to passe Lord, that
his pride be cut of with his owne sword,
13 notelet him be caught
with the snares of his eies in me, and thou shalt strike him
from the lippes of my charitie.
14 Geue me constancie in mind,
that I may contemne him: and powre that I may ouerthrow
him.
15 For this shal be a memorial of thy name, when the
hand of a woman shal ouerthrow him.
16 For not in multitude
is thy power ô Lord, neither in strength of horses is thy wil,
neither haue the proud pleased thee from the beginninge: but
the prayer of the humble and meeke hath alwayes pleased
thee.
17 God of the heauens, creatour of the waters, and Lord
of euerie creature, heare me wretch, praying and presuming
of thy mercie.
18 Remember Lord thy testament, and geue a
word in my mouth, and strengthen counsel in my hart, that
thy house may continew in thy sanctification:
19 and al Nations
may acknowledge, that thou art God, and there is no
other besides thee.
