| Hath at length brought forth a Lie | A |
| - | |
| He dig'd a pit and delv'd it deep | T |
| And fell into the pit he made | S |
| His mischief that due course doth keep | T |
| Turns on his head and his ill trade | S |
| Of violence will undelay'd | S |
| Fall on his crown with ruine steep | T |
| - | |
| Then will I Jehovah's praise | U |
| According to his justice raise | U |
| And sing the Name and Deitie | S |
| Of Jehovah the most high | A |
