| 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 Jehemajun | D |
| And they that hate thee proud and fill | E |
| Exalt their heads full hie | F |
| Against thy people they contrive Jagnarimu | G |
| Their Plots and Counsels deep Sod | H |
| Them to ensnare they chiefly strive Jithjagnatsu gnal | E |
| Whom thou dost hide and keep Tsephuneca | I |
| Come let us cut them off say they | J |
| Till they no Nation be | K |
| That Israels name for ever may | J |
| Be lost in memory | K |
| For they consult with all their might Lev jachdau | H |
| And all as one in mind | H |
| Themselves against thee they unite | H |
| And in firm union bind | H |
| The tents of Edom and the brood | H |
| Of scornful Ishmael | E |
| Moab with them of Hagars blood | H |
| That in the Desart dwell | E |
| Gebal and Ammon there conspire | L |
| And hateful Amalec | I |
| The Philistims and they of Tyre | M |
| Whose bounds the sea doth check | I |
| With them great Asshur also bands | N |
| And doth confirm the knot | H |
| All these have lent their armed hands | N |
| To aid the Sons of Lot | H |
| Do to them as to Midian bold | H |
| That wasted all the Coast | H |
| To Sisera and as is told | H |
| Thou didst to Jabins hoast | H |
| When at the brook of Kishon old | H |
| They were repulst and slain | D |
| At Endor quite cut off and rowl'd | H |
| As dung upon the plain | D |
| As Zeb and Oreb evil sped | H |
| So let their Princes speed | H |
| As Zeba and Zalmunna bled | H |
| So let their Princes bleed | H |
| For they amidst their pride have said | H |
| By right now shall we seize | O |
| Gods houses and will now invade | H |
| Their stately Palaces Neoth Elohim bears both | P |
| My God oh make them as a wheel | E |
| No quiet let them find | H |
| Giddy and restless let them reel | E |
| Like stubble from the wind | H |
| As when an aged wood takes fire | L |
| Which on a sudden straies | O |
| The greedy flame runs hier and hier | L |
| Till all the mountains blaze | O |
| So with thy whirlwind them pursue | O |
| And with thy tempest chase | O |
| And till they yield thee honour due They seek thy | Q |
| Lord fill with shame their face Name Heb | K |
| Asham'd and troubl'd let them be | K |
| Troubl'd and sham'd for ever | L |
| Ever confounded and so die | Q |
| With shame and scape it never | L |
| Then shall they know that thou whose name | G |
| Jehova is alone | D |
| Art the most high and thou the same | G |
| O're all the earth art one | D |
