The .lviij. Psalme.
O ye
the sonnes of mortall men, ye goddes and men of myght:
Do ye geue rightuouse sentences, and iudge mens matters right?
Do ye geue rightuouse sentences, and iudge mens matters right?
Nay, but rather you Imagyne mischiefe wythin your brest:
And by your violence men are sore laden and oppreste.
And by your violence men are sore laden and oppreste.
So sone as these vngodly men were borne they went astraye:
And frō theyr mothers wombe they learned vntrueth for to saye.
And frō theyr mothers wombe they learned vntrueth for to saye.
Theyr poysens are lyke the poysens that in fell serpentes are:
They are lyke the deafe Adder that doth vse to stop hir eare.
They are lyke the deafe Adder that doth vse to stop hir eare.
For the adder doeth stop hir eare lest she should heare haply:
The voyce of the charmar that doeth by charmes worcke skylfully.
The voyce of the charmar that doeth by charmes worcke skylfully.
Of these mens mouthes breake thou the teeth (O God) and smyte in twayne:
The chafte bones of the lyons whelppes who are cruell certayne.
The chafte bones of the lyons whelppes who are cruell certayne.
That they may fall awaye lyke the water that faste doeth ren:
And that when they shote theyr arrowes, the same may be broken.
And that when they shote theyr arrowes, the same may be broken.
Let them consume as doth a snayle, that turneth into slyme:
And as the fruite that a woman, beareth before hir tyme.
And as the fruite that a woman, beareth before hir tyme.
Yeare that your sharpe and prickynge thornes, shall be redie to pricke:
Gooddes wrath lyke to a stormye wynde, shall take you awaye quicke.
Gooddes wrath lyke to a stormye wynde, shall take you awaye quicke.
When the rightwise shall se these thynges they shall reioyse greatly:
And they shal wash theyr feete in the bloude of the vngodly.
Then shall men saye the rightuouse are certayne to haue rewarde:
For the Lorde God iudgeth the earth who doeth iustice regarde.
For the Lorde God iudgeth the earth who doeth iustice regarde.
