Matthew(i)
1 A songe and Psalme of Asaph. Holde not thy tongue, O God, kepe not styll silence, refrayne not thy self O God.
2 For lo, thyne enemies make a murmurynge, and they that hate the, lyft vp their heade.
3 They ymagyn craftely agaynst thy people, and take counsayll agaynste thy secrete ones.
4 Come (saye they) let vs rote them out from amonge the people, that the name of Israell maye be put out of remembraunce.
5 For they haue caste their heades together with one consent, & are confederate agaynst the.
6 The tabernacles of the Edomites and Ismaelytes, the Moabytes and Hagarenes.
7 Gebal, Ammom, and Amalech: the Philistines with them that dwell at Tyre.
8 Assur also is ioyned vnto them, and helpe the chyldren of Loth. Selah.
9 But do thou to them as vnto the Madianites, vnto Sisera, and vnto Iabin by the broke of Kyson.
10 Whych peryshed at Endor, & became as the donge of the earth.
11 Make their prynces lyke Oreb & Zeb. Yea, make all their prynces lyke as Zebea & Salmana.
12 Whiche saye: we will haue the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them lyke vnto a whele, and as the stubble before the wynde.
14 Lyke as a fyre that burneth vp the wood, and as the flame that consumeth the mountaynes.
15 Persecute them euen so with thy tempest, and make them afrayed with thy storme.
16 Make their faces ashamed, O Lord that they maye seke thy name.
17 Let them be confounded and vexed euer more and more: let them be put to shame and perishe.
18 That they may know that thou art alone that thy name is the Lorde, & that thou onely art the moost hyest ouer all the earth.
