PSAL. LXXXIII.

1 The people of Israél praye vnto the Lord to deliuer thē from their enemies bot he at home and farre of, which i∣magined nothing but their destruction. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 And they desi∣re that all suche Wicked people maye, according as God was accustomed, be stricken with the stormie tempest of Gods wrath, 18 That thei maie knowe that the Lord is moste high vpon the earth.

¶ A song, or Psalme committed to Asáph.

1 KEpea not thou silence, ô God: be not stil and cease not, ô God.

2 Forlo, thineb enemies make a tumulte: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.

3 Thei haue taken craftie counsel against thy people, and haue consulted against thyc se∣cret ones.

4 Thei haue said, Come and let vsd cut them of from being a nation: and let the name of Israél be no more in remembrance.

5 For thei haue consulted togethere in heart (and) haue made a leaguef against thee:

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Moab and the Agarims:

7 Gebál and Ammōn, and Amaléch, the Phili∣stims with the inhabitants of” Tyrus:

8 Asshur also is ioyned with thē: thei haue be∣ne an arme to the childreng of Lot.

9 Do thou to them as vnto theh Midianites: as to Siserá (and) as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishón.

10 Thei perished at Endór, (and) werei dongue forthe earth.

11 Make thē, (euen) their princes like * Oréb and like Zeéb: yea, all their princes like Ze∣bah and like Zalmuná.

12 Which haue said, Let vs take for our posses∣sion thek habitacions of God.

13 O my God, make them like vnto al whele, (and) as the stubble before the winde.

14 As the fyer burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fyre:

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, & ma∣ke them afraied with thy storme.

16 Fil their faces with shame, that thei maiem seke thy Name, ö Lord.

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame & perish.

18 That they maien knowe that thou, which art called Iehouáh, art alone, (euen) the most High ouer all the earth.
