Matthew(i)
1 To the chaunter Destroye not Michtam of Dauid. If youre myndes be vpon righteousnes in deede, then iudge the thyng that is ryght, O ye sonnes of men,
2 But ye ymagyn mischefe in youre hertes and youre handes deale with wickednes.
3 The vngodly are froward, euen from their mothers wombe: as soone as they be borne, they go a stray and speake lyes.
4 They are as furyous as the serpent, euen lyke the deaf Ader that stoppeth her eares.
5 That she shoulde not heare the voyce of the charmer, charme he neuer so wisely.
6 Breake their teeth (O god) in their mouthes, smite the chaft bones of the lions whelpes in sonder, O Lord.
7 That they maye fall awaye, lyke water that runneth a pace: and that when they shote their arrowes, they maye be broken.
8 Let them consume away lyke a snaile, and lyke the vntymely frute of a woman, and let them not se the sunne.
9 Or euer your thorns be sharpe, the wrath shall take them awaye quicke, like a stormy wynde.
10 The ryghteous shal reioyse when he seith the vengeaunce, and shall washe hys fete in the bloud of the vngodly.
11 So that men shall saye, verelye there is a rewarde for the righteous: doutles, there is a God that iudgeth the earth.
