1. Why brag in malice high,

God's goodness yet is nigh,
All day to me no doubt.
2. Thy tongue to muse evil,
It does itself inure:
As razor sharp to spill,

Above all goodness walk:

Thy tent from thee at last
To root thee out of land.

And fear thereby shall take,
But yet at him full free,

For good Thy saints it spy.}}

1. Why brag in malice high,
O thou in mischief stout?
God's goodness yet is nigh,
All day to me no doubt.

2. Thy tongue to muse evil,
It does itself inure:
As razor sharp to spill,
All guile it doth procure.

3. Thou malice loves to wire,
Above all goodness walk:
And more thou loves to lie,
Then righteousness to talk.

 

4. Yea, loved thou hast no less
To speak one word for all:
All words of naughtiness,
Thou tongue in fraud most thrall.

5. But God once thee shall walk,
Shall stroy and scrape by hand
Thy tent from thee at last
To root thee out of land.

6. And righteous men shall see,
And fear thereby shall take,
But yet at him full free,
And laughter shall they make.

 

7. But I as olive green
In God's sweet house shall lay:
My trust hast ever been
In God's good grace for aye.

8. I Thee shall laud e'en still,
For this Thou did, say I:
Thy name to wait I will,
For good Thy saints it spy.
