Of peace no word they think or say,
their talk is all untrue;
They still consult how to betray
all those that peace pursue
With open mouth they run at me,
their fury is like fire:
Well, well, say they, our eye doth see
the thing that we desire
But, Lord, thou seest what ways they take,
and what they do intend;
Be not far off, nor me forsake,
but speedy help me send
Awake, arise, and stir abroad,
defend me in my right:
Revenge my cause, O Lord my God,
and aid me with thy might
According to thy righteousness<
O Lord God, set me free;
And let them not their price express,
nor triumph over me
Let not their hearts rejoice nor cry,
E'en so we would it have;
Nor give them cause to say on high,
He's sunk into the grave
Confound them all that do rejoice,
when they my trouble see;
Let them be clothed with rebuke,
that boast with scorn at me
But let them heartily rejoice,
who love my upright way;
Let them all times with heart and voice
still praise the Lord and sa
Great is the Lord, and doth excel,
and he doth much delight
To see his servants prosper well,
it is his pleasant sight
Wherefore my tongue I will apply,
thy righteousness to praise:
To thee, O Lord my God, will I
give laud and thanks always.
