O GOD from them deliver me that are mine enemies: set thou me up on high from them that •p against me rise. verse 2 Deliver me from them that work grievous-iniquity: and be a saviour unto me ⟨image ?⟩•rom men that be bloody. verse 3 For lo, they for my soul lay wait; the strong causeless combine against me, not for my crime, Lord, nor any sin of mine. verse 4 Without iniquity in me they run, & ready make themselves, do thou behold, also unto my help awake. verse 5 Lord God of host, thou Israels God, rise to visit therefore all heathens; who sin wilfully, to them show grace no more. verse 6 At evening they return, & like to dogs a noise do make; and so about the city round a compass they do take▪ verse 7 Behold they belch out with their mouths, within their lips swords are: for who is he (do these men say) which •s at all doth hear. verse 8 But thou o Lord, at them wilt laugh, and heathens all wilt mock. verse 9 And for his strength I'll wait on thee for God is my high Rock.

O GOD from them deliver mee that are mine enemies: set thou me up on high from them that •p against me rise. verse 2 Deliver mee from them that work grievous-iniquity: and be a saviour unto mee ⟨image ?⟩
