But finde no frendes to ease my smarte, to comfort me not one,
[verse 23]
But in my meate they gaue me gall, to cruell for to thynke:
And gaue me in my thirst withall, stronge vineger to dryncke.
[verse 24]
Lorde turne their table to a snare, to take them selues therin.
And when they thinke full well to fare, then trap them in the gin.
[verse 25]
And let theyr eyes be darke and blynde that they may nothyng see:
Bow downe their back & doo thē binde, in thraldome for to be.
[verse 26]
Powre out thy wrath as hoate as fyer, that it on them may fal:
Let thy displeasure in thyne yre: take holde vpon them all.
As desert drye theyr house disgrace, their offring eke expell:
[verse 27]
That none therof posses their place, nor in their tents doo dwell:
If thou dost strike the man to tame, on him they lay full sore.
[verse 28]
And if that thou do wounde the same, they seke to hurt him more:
Then let them heape vp mischief still. sith they are all peruert:
[verse 29]
That of thy fauor and good will, they neuer haue no part,
Page 164
And dash them cleane out of the boke, of life, of hope of trust:
That for their names they neuer loke, in number of the iust.
