Psalm 140 Eripe me, Domine
Protect me Lord, preserve me, sett me free
From men that be soe vile, soe violent:
In whose entent both force and fraud doth lurk
My bane to work: whose tongues are sharper things
Then Adders stings: whose rusty lipps enclose
A poisons hoord, such in the Aspick growes.
From men that be soe vile, soe violent:
In whose entent both force and fraud doth lurk
My bane to work: whose tongues are sharper things
Then Adders stings: whose rusty lipps enclose
A poisons hoord, such in the Aspick growes.
Save I say Lord, protect me, sett me free
From these that be so vile, so violent:
Whose thoughts are spent in thinking how they may
My stepps betray: how nett of fowle misshape
May me entrapp: how hidd in traitor grasse
Their conning cord may catch me as I passe.
From these that be so vile, so violent:
Whose thoughts are spent in thinking how they may
My stepps betray: how nett of fowle misshape
May me entrapp: how hidd in traitor grasse
Their conning cord may catch me as I passe.
But this, O Lord, I hold: my God art thou:
Thou eare wilt bowe, what time thy aid I pray,
In thee my stay, Jehova: thou dost arme
Against all harme, and guard my head in field.
O then to yeeld these wicked their desire
Do not accord, for still they will aspire.
Thou eare wilt bowe, what time thy aid I pray,
In thee my stay, Jehova: thou dost arme
Against all harme, and guard my head in field.
O then to yeeld these wicked their desire
Do not accord, for still they will aspire.
But yeeld O Lord, that ev'n the head of those
That me enclose, of this their hott pursute
May taste the frute: with deadly venome stung
Of their owne tongue, loe, loe, I see they shall:
Yea coales shall fall, yea flames shall fling them low,
Ay unrestor'd to drown in deepest wo.
That me enclose, of this their hott pursute
May taste the frute: with deadly venome stung
Of their owne tongue, loe, loe, I see they shall:
Yea coales shall fall, yea flames shall fling them low,
Ay unrestor'd to drown in deepest wo.
For liers, Lord, shall never firmly stand
And from the land who violently live
Mischief shall drive: but well I know the poore
Thou wilt restore: restore th'afflicted wight,
That in thy sight the just may howses frame,
And glad record the honor of thy name.
And from the land who violently live
Mischief shall drive: but well I know the poore
Thou wilt restore: restore th'afflicted wight,
That in thy sight the just may howses frame,
And glad record the honor of thy name.
