PSAL. CIX.
HOld not thy peace, O God of my praise.
2 For the mouth of the wicked,
HOld not thy peace, O thou that art the God of all my praise:
2 For that the mouth of them that are most wicked in their wayes,
And the mouth of the deceitfull are opened against me, they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
And of deceitfull men the mouths against me op'ned be,
They with a tongue that lying is have spoken against me.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred: and fought against me without a cause.
3 They also compassd me about with words from hatred brought,
And without any cause from me against me then they fought.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give my self unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evill for good, and hatred for my love.
4 They for my love mine enemies are, but I to pray'r me move:
5 They me rewarded ill for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become si….
6 At his right hand let Satan stand, the wicked set him over:
7 Let him condemn'd be when he's judg'd, let sin become his prayer.
8 Let his dayes be few: and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherlesse; and his wife a widow.
8 Few be his dayes, another then let thou his office take:
9 Let fatherlesse his children be, his wife a widow make.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
10 His children still as vagabonds a begging let them go,
Let from their places desolate them seek their bread also.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath: and let the stranger spoil his labour.
11 Let also the extortioner catch all that's on his soile,
And let those that are strangers come and all his labour spoile.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherlesse children:
12 Let mercy none at all extend unto him in distresse:
Nor any let to favour be his children fatherlesse.
13 Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
13 And let thou his posterity be all cut off about,
And in the following age let then their name be bloted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembred with the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14 O let his fathers wickednesse with God remembred be,
And let not als his mothers sin be blotted out by thee.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually▪ that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
15 Let them all be before the Lord, and that continually,
That he of them may from the earth cut of… the memory.
16 Because that he remembred not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
16 Because that he remembred not his mercy to impart,
But did poor needy persecute, to slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him▪ as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
17 As he also did cursing love so let it to him go:
As blessing was not his delight far from him be it so.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing, like as with his garment: so let it come into his bowels like water,
18 As he himself with cursing cloth'd as with his garment, so
Into his very bowels down like water let it go,
And like oyl into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him: and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
And like the oile into his bones: 19 As garments let it be
Which covere him, for girdle als wherewith still girded's he.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord: and of them that speak evil against my soul.
20 Let this of mine adversaries from God be the reward,
And of them that against my soul speak ill without regard.
21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy names sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
21 But do thou for thine own names sake, O God the Lord for me:
Because that good thy mercy is, let me delivered be.
22 For I am poor and needy; and my heart is wounded within me.
22 For I am in a poor estate, and in a needy case:
My heart it also wounded is within me in its place.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth, I am tossed up and down as the locust.
2… Like as a shade when it declines, so likewise am I gone,
And as the locust also I am tossed up and down.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatnesse.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me, they shaked their heads.
24 My flesh of fatnesse faileth all, my knees through fast are weak:
25 I their reproach became; they look'd, and on me heads did shake.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy.
27 That they may know that this is thy hand, that thou Lord hast done it.
26 Help me O Lord my God; O save in mercy me anone;
27 That they may know this is thy hand, and that thou hast it done.
28 Let them curse, but blesse thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed, but let thy servant rejoyce.
28 Them let thou curse, but do thou blesse: and when they do arise
Let them ashamed be; but let thy servant then rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion as with a mantle.
29 Let all my foes be cloth'd with shame and let themselves them cover
Ev'n with their own confusion as with a mantle over.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth: yea I will praise him among the multitude.
30 I greatly with my mouth now will give praise unto the Lord,
Yea, I among the multitude will praise to him afford.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor: to save him from those that condemn his soul.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of him that poore is then,
That he may him preserve from those that do his soul condemn.

Of order of Melchisedeck thou art a priest for ever.
5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike thorow kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies;

6 Among the heathen he shall judge, the place with dead hee'le sill.
He shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
He'le wound the heads of those that are set many countries o're,
7 He'l in the way drink of the brook, he'le lift the head therefore,

WHen Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Iacob from a people of strange language:
WHen those that were of Israel went out of Egypt there;
And Jacobs house a people from that of strange language were.
2 Iudah was his sanctuary: and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Iordan was driven back.
2 His Sanctuary Judah was, his Kingdome was Isra'l.
3 The sea it saw, and it did flee, driv'n back was Jordan all.
4 The mountains skipped like rams: and the little hils like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest, thou Iordan, that thou wast driven back?
4 Like rams the mountains, little hills like lambs did skipping make:
5 Why fledst thou sea? thou Jordan als that thou wast driven back.
