¶ Siuere vtique. Psalme. lviii. I. H
¶ He describeth the malyce of hys enemyes, the flatterers of Saule, who bothe secretiye and openly sought hys dystruction, from whom he apealeth to Gods iudgement, shewing that the iust shall reioyce, when they see the punishment of the wicked to the glory of God.
YE rulers that are put in trust, to iudge of wronge and ryght: * 1.1Be all your iudgements true and iust not knowing nede or might. [verse 2] Nay, in your hartes ye marke and muse, in mischief to consent:And where ye shoulde true iustice vse, your handes to brybes are bent.
[verse 3] This wicked sorte from theyr birth day haue erred on this wise:And from their mothers womb alwaie, haue vsed craft and lyes. [verse 4] In them the poyson and the breathe, of serpents doo appeare:
descriptionPage 136
Yea lyke the adder that is deafe, and fast doeth stoppe his eare.
[verse 5] Because he will not heare the voyce, of one that charmeth well:No though he were the chefe of choice, and did therin excell. [verse 6] O God breake thou their teeth at once, within their mouthe throughoute:The tuskes that in their great chawbones lyke Liones whelpes hange oute.
[verse 7] Let them consume awaye and wast, as water renth fourth right:The shafts that they doo shoute in haste, let them be broke in flight. [verse 8] As snailes doo wast within the shell, and vnto slime doo runne:As one before his time that fell, and neuer saw the sunne.
[verse 9] Before the thornes that now are yonge to bushes bigge shall growe:The stormes of anger waxing stronge, shall take them ere they knowe. [verse 10] The iust shall ioy, it doth them good, that God doeth vengance take:And they shall wash their feete in bloud, of them that him forsake.
[verse 11] Then shal the world shew forth and tel that good men haue rewarde.And that a God in yearth doeth dwell, that iustice doeth regarde.
