3 Lord▪ if this ill deed I have done, [And] guilty [be] of wickedness;
4 If I with hurt did him reward, Who lived by me in [quiet] peace, (Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I have [Used] kindly [and] delivered those Who now are causelessly become My [cruel] persecuting foes.)
4 If I with hurt did him reward, Who liv'd by me in [quiet] peace, (Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I have [Vs'd] kindly [and] deliver'd those Who now are causelesly become My [cruel] persecuting foes.)
5 Then let me foes me persecute, And take my life; and [let them] thrust, And tread me down on earth, and lay My [name and] honour in the dust.
6 Rise, Lord, in wrath, lift up thy self, Because of [all mine] enemies rage; And for that right which thou commandest Do thou thy [wakened] power engage.
