¶Liedtext

Help Lord for wasted are those men, which right’usnesse embrace: And rarely found that faithfull are, but all the truth deface. Each to his neighbour falsehood speakes and them seekes to beguile: With flattering lips and double heart, when smoothest hee doth smile. All flattering lips, the Lord our God, in justice will confound: And all proud tongues, that vaunt great things hee will bring to the ground. Our tongues say they shall lift us up, by them wee shall prevail: Who should us let, or stop our course, that thereof wee should faile. For the destruction of the just, and such as bee opprest: And for the mournings of the poore, that likewise bee distrest. I will ryse up now saith the Lord, and ease their griefe and care: Of those which hee full craftely, hath draw’n into his snare. Like silver fine that tried is, seven times by heate of fire: So are thy words Lord pure and cleane, to such as them desire. Thou Lord wilt keepe, and wilt defend, all such as in thee trust: And from that cursed race of men, save all such as bee just. When evill men exalted bee, the wicked gad about: Farre from all feare of paine, but thou O Lord wilt roote them out. (Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 12)
