Make them now and their lords appear
like Zeb and Oreb then;
As Zebu and Zalmana were,
the kings of Midian:
Who said, let us throughout the land,
in all the coasts abroad,
Possess and take into our hand
the fair houses of God.
Turn them, O God, with storms so fast,
as wheels that have no stay;
Or like the chaff which men do cast
with wind to fly away.
Like as the fire with rage and fume
the mighty forest spills,
And as the flame doth quite consume
the mountains and the hills,
So let the tempest of thy wrath
upon their necks be laid,
And of thy wind and stormy breath,
Lord, make them all afraid.
Lord, bring them all, I thee desire,
to such rebuke and shame,
That it may cause them to enquire,
and learn to seek thy Name:
And let them daily more and more
to shame and slander fall,
And in rebuke and obloquy
confound and sink them all;
That they may know and understand
thou art the God most high
And that thou dost with mighty hand
the world rule constantly.
