verse 11 False witnesses did up arise:
what I knew not they charged on me.
verse 12 Evil for good they me repaid,
whereby my soul might spoiled be,
verse 13 But I, when they were sick, was clothed
with sackcloth, & I afflicted
my soul with fasting, & my prayer
into my bosom returned.
verse 14 I walked as if he had been
my near friend or mine own brother:
I heavily bowed down as one
that mourneth for his own mother.
verse 15 But they in mine adversity
rejoiced, & they gathered
themselves together: yea abjects
themselves against me gathered;
And I was ignorant hereof;
and they unceasantly me tear,
verse 16 With hypocrites, mockers in feasts;
at me their teeth they gnashing were.
verse 17 How long o Lord wilt thou look on?
my soul from their destructions,
⟨image ?⟩o do thou set at liberty,
my only one from the Lions.
verse 18 I freely will give thanks to thee
within the congregation great:
and I thy praises will set forth
where there be many people met.
verse 19 Those that are wrongfully my foes,
let them not rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye,
that are my haters causelessly.
verse 20 Because that they do not speak pe•ce▪
but in their thoughts they do invent
deceitful matters against them
that in the land for peace are bent.
verse 21 Gainst me they opened their mouths wide
& said, ah, ah our eye it saw.
verse 22 Thou sawest it (Lord) hold not thy peace:
Lord, from me be not far away.
verse 23 Stir up & wake to my judgement,
my God & my Lord, to my plea.
verse 24 After thy justice, judge me, Lord
my God, lest o'er me joy should they.
verse 25 Let them not say within their hearts,
aha, our souls desire have we:
we now have swallowed him up,
o let them never say of me.
verse 26 Shamed let them be & confounded
jointly, who at my hurt are glad:
let them that 'gainst me magnify,
with shame & dishonour be clad.
verse 27 Let them for joy shout, & be glad
⟨image ?⟩that favour do my righteous •ause:
yea, let them say continually,
extolled be the Lord with praise,
Who doth in the prosperity
of his servants his pleasure stay
verse 28 And my tongue of thy justice shall,
and of thy praise speak all the day.
