1 Holde not thy tongue O Lorde: kepe not styll scilence, refraine not thy selfe O Lorde
2 For beholde, thyne enemies make an vprore: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp their head
3 They haue deuised shrewde counsell against thy people: and they haue consulted against thyne, whom thou defendest
4 They haue said, come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembraunce
5 For they haue conspired all in one minde: & are confederate against thee
6 The pauilions of Edom and the Ismaelites: of Moab, and Hagerites
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the Philistines with the inhabitauntes of Tyre
8 Assur also is ioyned vnto them: they were a great ayde to the chyldren of Lot. Selah
9 But do thou vnto them, as vnto Midian: as vnto Sisera, as vnto Iabin at the brooke Kishon
10 Whiche perished at Ein Dor: and became as the doung of the earth
11 Make them, their princes, [and] al their captaynes: lyke Oreb, and lyke Zeeb, and lyke Salmunna
12 Whiche sayd, let vs take to our selues: the houses of God in possession
13 O my Lorde, make them lyke vnto a wheele: and as chaffe before the winde
14 Lyke as a fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flambe that consumeth the mountaynes
15 Persecute them euen so with thy tempest: and make them afrayde with thy storme
16 Make shame to appeare in their faces: that they may seeke thy name O God
17 Let them be confounded and astonied with feare euer more & more: let them be put to shame, and perishe
18 And let them knowe that thou in thy name God eternall art only: O thou the most highest ouer all the earth
