¶The prophete acknowledgeth that Israel may glory, in that through the helpe of God their enemies enterprises could not preuayle against them. The wicked shalbe sodain∣ly destroyed.
[unspec A] 1 ISrael may now say: they haue trou∣bled me often from my youth vp.
2 They haue troubled me often from my youth vp: but they haue not preuay∣led against me.
3 The plowemen plowed vpon my backe: they made long forrowes.
4 But God who is iust: hath cut a pee∣ces the “ 1.1 snares of the vngodly.
5 All they that beare an euyll wyll to Sion: shalbe confounded, and be made to turne backe from it.
6 They shall be as the grasse growing [unspec B] vpon the house toppes: whiche withe∣reth afore that it be shot foorth [to his growth.]
7 Whereof the mower fylleth not his hande: neither he that byndeth vp the sheaues his armes full.
8 And they which go by, say not so much as the blessing of God be vpon you: we blesse you in the name of God.
