[verse 16] Let death in baste upon them fall, and send them quick to hell:For mischiefe is among them all, and dwelleth where they dwell: [verse 17] But I upon my God will call, of him I help will crave;And me the Lord deliver shall, he surely shall me save.
[verse 18] At morning noon, and evening I will pray in all my feare:Yea, I to him aloud will cry, and he my voice shall •…•…eare. [verse 19] My soule in peace he hath made si•…•… from warre against me set;Because of those that were with me, the multitude was great.

[verse 20] The Lord shall heare when I complaine, even he that is of old;And them he shall afflict with paine, and judgements manifold. [verse 21] Because they have no changes seen, but still at rest they were:Therefore presumptuous they have been, and God they do not feare.
[verse 22] Upon his friend he laid his hand, with whom he peace did make:Of friendship thus the solemne band and covenant he brake. [verse 23] Whiles in his heart he •…•…arbours war, like butter are his words:Whiles smooth as oile his speeches are; yet be they sharp dr•…•…wn swords.
[verse 24] Upon the Lord thy burthen lay, and thee sustaine shall he;His Saints he doth so strongly stay, that mov'd they shall not be. [verse 25] But, Lord, thou to the pit shalt drive men bloudy and unjust:For halfe their daies such shall not live, but I in thee will trust.
