6 Break thou their poisonous teeth, O God, [Yea] from their mouth [quite] break them out; Yea, break the sharp devouring teeth. Of Lions [even the] young and stout.
6 Break thou their poysonous teeth, O God, [Yea] from their mouth [quite] break them out; Yea, break the sharp devouring teeth. Of Lions [even the] young and stout.
7 Let them like waters melt away, Which downward still do [slide and] flow; ⟨p. 92⟩In pieces cut his arrows all When he doth bend his [unjust] bow.
8 Like to a snail that melts away, Let them all [pass and] hence be gone; That like the womb's untimely birth, They never see the [shining] sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, Away [in wrath] he shall them drive; And with his whirlwind's angry storms Sweep them away [from hence] alive.
