Plead, •ord, with them that with me plead: fight against them that fight with me. verse 2 Of shield & buckler take thou hold, stand up my helper for to be. verse 3 Draw out the spear & stop the way 'gainst them that my pursuers be: and do thou say unto my soul I am salvation unto thee. verse 4 Let them confounded be, & shamed, that seek my soul how they may spill: l•t them be turned back & shamed that in their thoughts devise mine ill. verse 5 As chaff before the wind, let them be, & Gods Angel them driving. verse 6 Let their way dark & slippery be, and the Lords Angel them chasing. verse 7 For in a pit without a cause, they hidden have for me a net: which they without a cause have digged that they there in my soul may get. verse 8 Let unknown ruin come on him, and let his net that he doth hide, himself ensnare: let him into the very same destruction slide. ⟨image ?⟩verse 9 My soul shall in the Lord be glad: in his salvation joyful be verse 10 And all my bones shall also say, o Lord, who is like unto thee? Who from the stronger then himself the poor afflicted settest free: the poor afflicted & needy, from such as spoilers of him be.
