| O God hold not thy peace | B |
| Sit not thou still O God of strength | A |
| We cry and do not cease | B |
| For lo thy furious foes now swell | C |
| And storm outrageously | D |
| And they that hate thee proud and fill | E |
| Exalt their heads full hie | F |
| Against thy people they contrive | G |
| Their Plots and Counsels deep | H |
| Them to ensnare they chiefly strive | G |
| Whom thou dost hide and keep | H |
| Come let us cut them off say they | I |
| Till they no Nation be | D |
| That Israels name for ever may | I |
| Be lost in memory | D |
| For they consult with all their might | J |
| And all as one in mind | K |
| Themselves against thee they unite | J |
| And in firm union bind | K |
| The tents of Edom and the brood | L |
| Of scornful Ishmael | M |
| Moab with them of Hagars blood | N |
| That in the Desart dwell | C |
| Gebal and Ammon there conspire | O |
| And hateful Amalec | P |
| The Philistims and they of Tyre | Q |
| Whose bounds the sea doth check | P |
| With them great Asshur also bands | R |
| And doth confirm the knot | S |
| All these have lent their armed hands | R |
| To aid the Sons of Lot | S |
| Do to them as to Midian bold | T |
| That wasted all the Coast | U |
| To Sisera and as is told | T |
| Thou didst to Jabins hoast | T |
| When at the brook of Kishon old | T |
| They were repulst and slain | V |
| At Endor quite cut off and rowl'd | T |
| As dung upon the plain | V |
| As Zeb and Oreb evil sped | T |
| So let their Princes speed | T |
| As Zeba and Zalmunna bled | T |
| So let their Princes bleed | T |
| For they amidst their pride have said | T |
| By right now shall we seize | W |
| Gods houses and will now invade | T |
| Their stately Palaces | X |
| My God oh make them as a wheel | M |
| No quiet let them find | T |
| Giddy and restless let them reel | M |
| Like stubble from the wind | T |
| As when an aged wood takes fire | O |
| Which on a sudden straies | X |
| The greedy flame runs hier and hier | O |
| Till all the mountains blaze | X |
| So with thy whirlwind them pursue | X |
| And with thy tempest chase | X |
| And till they yield thee honour due | X |
| Lord fill with shame their face | X |
| Asham'd and troubl'd let them be | D |
| Troubl'd and sham'd for ever | O |
| Ever confounded and so die | T |
| With shame and scape it never | O |
| Then shall they know that thou whose name | Y |
| Jehova is alone | Z |
| Art the most high and thou the same | Y |
| O're all the earth art one | A2 |
