PSAL. XCIV.

[1]

O Lord God, unto whom alone

all vengeance doth belong,
O mighty God, who vengeance own'st
shine forth, avenging wrong.

2

Lift up thy self, thou of the earth

the Soveraign Judge that art,
And unto those that are so proud
a due reward impart.

3

How long, O mighty God, shal they

who lewd and wicked be.
How long shal they who wicked are,
thus triumph haughtilie?

4

How long shal things most hard by, them

be uttered and told,
And all that work iniquity
to boast themselves be bold?

5

Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord

thine heritage oppresse:

6

The widow they, and stranger slay,

and kil the fatherlesse.

7

Yet say they, God it shal not see,

nor God of Jacob know.

8

Ye brutish people unsterstand,

fools, when wise will ye grow?

9

The Lord did plant the ear of man,

and hear then shal not he?
He only form'd the eye, and then
shal he not clearly see,

10

He that the nations doth correct,

shal he not chastise you?
He knowledge unto man doth teach,
and shal himself not know?

11

Mans thoughts to be but vanity,

the Lord doth wel descern.

12

Blest is the man thō chastnest, Lord

and mak'st thy Law to learn.

13

That thou may'st give him rest frō dayes

of sad adversitie,
Until the pit be dig'd for those
that work iniquitie.

14

For sure the Lord wil not cast off

those that his people be,
Neither his own inheritance
quit and forsake wil he.

15

But judgement unto righteousnesse

shal yet return again,


And all shal follow after it
that are right hearted men.

16

Who wil rise up for me, against

those that do wickedly?
Who wil stand up for me, 'gainst those
that work iniquity?

17

Unlesse the Lord had been my help

when I was sore opprest,
Almost my soul had in the house
of silence been at rest.

18

When I had uttered this word,

My foot doth slip away,
Thy mercy held me up, O Lord,
thy goodnesse did me stay.

19

Amidst the multitude of thoughts,

which in my heart do fight,
My soul, lest it be overcharg'd,
thy comforts do delight.

20

Shal of iniquity the throne

have fellowship with thee,
Which mischief cunningly contriv'd,
doth by a law decree?

21

Against ye righteous souls they joyn

they guiltlesse bloud condemn:

22

But of my refuge God's the rock,

and my defence from them.

23

On them their own iniquity

the Lord shal bring and lay,
And out them off in their own sin,
our Lord God shal them slay.
