7 O God, thou only art the strength Which ever [safely] keepeth me; My head in days of bloody war Was covered [and saved] by thee.
7 O God, thou only art the strength Which ever [safely] keepeth me; My head in days of bloody war Was covered [and sav'd] by thee.
8 The wicked mens hurtful desires, Lord, prosper not, nor [ever] grant; And further not their bad designs. Lest of themselves they [proudly] vaunt.
9 As for the leading head of those That [fiercely] compass me about, ⟨p. 242⟩Let the mischief of their own lips Cover [them all] and find them out.
10 Let burning coals upon them fall, Cast them into the [wasting] fire; Into deep pits, that they rise not [Again] to pursue their desire.
