- 0. A Psalme of Dauid.
- 1. Holde not thy tongue, O God of my praise.
- 2. For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceite are opened vpon me: they haue spoken to me with a lying tongue.
- 3. They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
- 4. For my friendship they were mine aduersaries, but I gaue my selfe to praier.
- 5. And they haue rewarded me euil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
- 6. Set thou the wicked ouer him, and let the aduersarie stand at his right hand.
- 7. Whe he shalbe iudged, let him be condemned, and let his praier be turned into sinne.
- 8. Let his daies be fewe, and let another take his charge.
- 9. Let his children be fatherlesse, and his wife a widowe.
- 10. Let his children be vagabounds & beg and seeke bread, comming out of their places destroyed.
- 11. Let the extortioner catch al that he hath, and let the strangers spoile his labour.
- 12. Let there be none to extende mercie vnto him: neither let there be any to shewe mercie vpon his fatherlesse children.
- 13. Let his posteritie be destroied, and in the generation following let their name be put out.
- 14. Let the iniquitie of his fathers bee had in remembrance with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be done away.
- 15. But let them alway be before the Lorde, that he may cut off their memorial from ye earth.
- 16. Because he remembred not to shew mercie, but persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and the sorowfull hearted to slay him.
- 17. As he loued cursing, so shall it come vnto him, and as he loued not blessing, so shall it be farre from him.
- 18. As he clothed himselfe with cursing like a rayment, so shall it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
- 19. Let it be vnto him as a garment to couer him, and for a girdle, wherewith he shalbe alway girded.
- 20. Let this be the rewarde of mine aduersarie from the Lord, and of them, that speake euill against my soule.
- 21. But thou, O Lorde my God, deale with me according vnto thy Name: deliuer me, (for thy mercie is good)
- 22. Because I am poore and needie, and mine heart is wounded within me.
- 23. I depart like the shadowe that declineth, and am shaken off as the grashopper.
- 24. My knees are weake through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatnes.
- 25. I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.
- 26. Helpe me, O Lord my God: saue me according to thy mercie.
- 27. And they shal know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it.
- 28. Though they curse, yet thou wilt blesse: they shall arise & be confounded, but thy seruant shall reioyce.
- 29. Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame, and let them couer themselues with their confusion, as with a cloke.
- 30. I will giue thankes vnto the Lorde greatly with my mouth & praise him among ye multitude.
- 31. For he will stand at the right hand of the poore, to saue him from them that woulde condemne his soule.
