12 My God, Make them like to a wheel, ‖ as chaff before the wind. ‖
14 As the fire burns the wood and as ‖ the flame sets hills on fire; ‖
15 So with thy Tempest follow them, ‖ and fright them with thy storm. ‖
16 Make thou their faces to be full ‖ of ignominious shame; ‖ That they may seek thy Name, O Thou ‖ that art the' ETERNAL God. ‖
