The second part.

[verse 12] Let his posterity from earth cut off for ever be; And in the following age his name be blotted out by thee. [verse 13] Let not his fathers wickednesse from Gods remembrance fall: Let not from him his mothers sin be blotted out at all.

[verse 14] But let them in the sight of God appeare continually; That he may wholly from the earth cut off their memory. [verse 15] Sith mercy be forgat to shew, and did pursue with spight The poore sad man, that him whose hea•…•… was broken, slay he might.

[verse 16] As 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in cursing pleasure took, so let it to him go, As blessing was not his delight, farre from him be it so. [verse 17] As 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with cursing cloth'd himselfe, into his bowels so, Like water, and into his bones, like oile, downe let it go.

[verse 18] As doth his garment cover him, so to him let it be; And as a girdle, girt wherewith continually is he. [verse 19] This the reward be from the Lord, unto mine enemies; Who evill speak against my soule, and mischiefe do devise.
