1 To Dauid himselfe, in the fourth of the sabbath. OVR Lord God of reuenges: the God of reuenges hath done freely.
2 Be exalted thou that iudgest the earth: render retribution to the ptoude.
3 How long shal sinners ô Lord: how long shal sinners glorie?
4 Shal they vtter, and speake iniquitie? shal al they speake, that worke iniustice?
5 Thy people ô Lord they haue humbled: and thine inheritance they haue vexed.
6 The widow, and the stranger they haue slaine: and the pupilles they haue killed.
7 And they haue saide: The Lord shal not see, neither shal the God of Iacob vnderstand.
8 Vnderstand ye foolish in the people: and ye fooles be wise at sometime.
9 He that planted the eare, shal he not heare? Or he that made the eie doth he not consider?
10 He that chastiseth nations, shal he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Our Lord knoweth the cogitations of men: that they be vaine.
12 Blessed is the man, whom thou shalt instruct ô Lord: and shalt teach out of thy lawe.
13 That thou maist geue him quietnes from the euil daies: til a pitte be digged for the sinner.
14 Because our Lord wil not reiect his people: and his inheritance he wil not forsake.
15 Vntil iustice be turned into iudgement: and they who are neere it, are al that are right of hart.
16 Who shal rise for me against the malignant? or who shal stand with me against them that worke iniquitie?
17 But that our Lord hath holpen me: within very litle my soule had dwelt in hel.
18 If I said: My foote is moued: thy mercie ô Lord did help me
19 According to the multitude of my sorrowes in my hart: thy consolations haue made my soule ioyful.
20 Doth the seat of iniquitie cleaue to thee: which makest labour in precept?
21 They wil hunt after the soule of the iust: and wil condemne innocent bloud.
22 And our Lord became my refuge: and my God the helpe of my hope.
23 And he wil repay them their iniquitie: and in their malice he wil destroy them: the Lord our God wil destroy them.
