Prayer for Vindication and Retribution

55

I called vpon thy Name, O Lord, out of the lowe dungeon.

56

Thou hast heard my voyce: stoppe not thine eare from my sigh and from my cry.

57

Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saydest, Feare not.

58

O Lord, thou hast maintained the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my life.

59

O Lord, thou hast seene my wrong, iudge thou my cause.

60

Thou hast seene all their vengeance, and all their deuises against me.

61

Thou hast heard their reproch, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me:

62

The lippes also of those that rose against me, and their whispering against me continually.

63

Behold, their sitting downe and their rising vp, how I am their song.

64

Giue them a recompence, O Lord, according to the worke of their handes.

65

Giue them sorow of heart, euen thy curse to them.

66

Persecute with wrath and destroy them from vnder the heauen, O Lord.
