Let his daies be few, his 9 office let another take. Let his fonnes be Io fatherleffe , and his wife a widow. And let his fonnes wandering wander and beg, and I I feeke out of their defolate places. Let the Creditor infnare all that he hath,& let firan- gers make fpoile 6f his labour. Let there be none extending mercie to him, and let there be none (hewing favour to his father - 13 Jelfe children. Let his po(terity be(appoint.d) to Cutting oft: in the generation next after let his name be wiped out. Lct the iniquitie of 14 his fathers be remembred of Jehovah, and the finne of his mother be not wiped our. 15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, and lee cut off the memorie of them from the earth. Becaule that he remembred not to doe mercie, but perfecuted the poore afflicted and needy man, and the 'Mitten 17 in heart, to flay him. And hee loved cur- fing, and let it come unto him; and he de- lighted not in bleffing, and let it be farte 18 from him. AÌId he cloathed himfelfe with curfing as his raiment, and let it enter as waters into his inward part, and as ode into 19 his bones. Let it be to him as a garment wherewith hee may cover himfelfe, and for a girdle wherewith hee may gird himfèlfe 2 o continually. This k the worke of mine ad- verfaries from Jehovah , and of them that 21 fpeake evil( againft my foule. And thou Je- hovih, Lord, doe with mee for thy Name fake, for good is thymercy,deliver thoume. 22 For I am poore affliced and needy, and 23 mine heart is wounded within me. As a fha- dow when it declineth I am gone away,I am 24 tolled as the Grafhopper. Myknees are fee- ble through fafting,and my flefh is leane for 25 fatnel e. And I was a reproach to them; a6 they lawme,they flaked their head. Helpe thou me Jehovah, my G:-d ; fave me accor- 27 ding to thy mercie. And let them knowthat this ie thine hand,thou Jehovah haft done ir. 28 Let them curfe, and doe thou blefle; rife they up and beabafhed, and let thy fervant 29 rejoyce. Let mine adverfaries be cloathed with ignominie, and let them cover them - 30 felves with their fhame as with a Bloke. I will confeffe Jehovah vehemently with my mouth,and in the midít of many will I praife 31 him. For he will hand at the right hand of the needy, to lavehim from them that judge his foule. 12 '16 Annotations.
