[1] <A song, the psalme of Asaph.> Holde not thy tongue O Lorde: kepe not styll scilence, refraine not thy selfe O Lorde
[2] For beholde, thyne enemies make an vprore: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp their head
[3] They haue deuised shrewde counsell against thy people: and they haue consulted against thyne, whom thou defendest
[4] They haue said, come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembraunce
[5] For they haue conspired all in one minde: & are confederate against thee
[6] The pauilions of Edom and the Ismaelites: of Moab, and Hagerites
[7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the Philistines with the inhabitauntes of Tyre
[8] Assur also is ioyned vnto them: they were a great ayde to the chyldren of Lot. Selah
[9] But do thou vnto them, as vnto Midian: as vnto Sisera, as vnto Iabin at the brooke Kishon
[10] Whiche perished at Ein Dor: and became as the doung of the earth
[11] Make them, their princes, [and] al their captaynes: lyke Oreb, and lyke Zeeb, and lyke Salmunna
[12] Whiche sayd, let vs take to our selues: the houses of God in possession
[13] O my Lorde, make them lyke vnto a wheele: and as chaffe before the winde
[14] Lyke as a fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flambe that consumeth the mountaynes
[15] Persecute them euen so with thy tempest: and make them afrayde with thy storme
[16] Make shame to appeare in their faces: that they may seeke thy name O God
[17] Let them be confounded and astonied with feare euer more & more: let them be put to shame, and perishe
[18] And let them knowe that thou in thy name God eternall art only: O thou the most highest ouer all the earth
