1 A Canticle of Psalme to Asaph.
2 O God who shal be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou appeased ô God:
3 For behold thine enimies haue made a sound: they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.
4 They haue taken malignant counsel vpon thy people: and they haue deuised against thy saincts.
5 They haue saide: Come, and let vs destroy them out of the nation: and let the name of Israel be remembred no more.
6 Because they haue deuised with one consent: they haue together made a couenant against thee.
7 The tabernacles of the Idumeians, and the Ismahelites Moab, and the Agarens.
8 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the foreners, with the inhabitantes of Tyre.
9 Yea and Assur also is come with them: they are made an aide to the children of Lot.
10 Doe to them as to Madian, and Sisara: as to Iabin in the torrent Cisson.
11 They perished in Endor: they were made as the dung of the earth.
12 Put their princes as Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana.
13 Al their princes: which haue saide: Let vs possesse the Sanctuarie of God for an inheritance.
14 My God put them as a wheele: and as stubble before the face of the winde.
15 Euen as fire that burneth a wood: & as a flame that burneth the mountaines:
16 So shalt thou pusew them in thy tempest: and in thy wrath thou shalt truble them.
17 Fil their faces with ignominie: and they wil seeke thy name, ô Lord.
18 Let them be ashamed, and trubled for euer and euer: and let them be confounded, and perish.
19 And let them know that Lord is thy name, thou onlie the Highest in al the earth.
