God, who schal be lijk thee? [verse 2] God, be thou not stille, nether be thou peesid. [verse 3] For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten [hatiden IL.] thee reisiden the heed. [verse 4] Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouȝten aȝens thi seyntis. [verse 5] Thei seiden, Come ȝe, and leese we hem fro the [Om. C et plures.] folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde. [verse 6] For thei thouȝten [verse 7] with oon acord; the tabernaclis of Ydu|meys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere aȝens thee. Moab, and [verse 8] Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech; alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre. [verse 9] For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth. [verse 10] Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison. [verse 11] Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.

[verse 14] My God, putte thou hem as a [Om. CG.] whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde. [verse 15] As fier that bren|neth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis. [verse 16] So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire. [verse 17] Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name. [verse 18] Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to [to the C et plures.] world of world; and [Om. S.] be thei schent and perische thei. [verse 19] And knowe thei, that the [Om. I.] Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the [Om. CI.] hiȝeste [Om. C.] in ech [euery L.] lond.
