For voice of him that doth reproach, and speaketh blasphemy; By reason of th' avenging foe, and cruel enemy.
From infants' and from sucklings' mouth thou didest strength ordain, For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st th' avenging foe restrain.
That th' enemy reproached hath, O keep it in record; And that the foolish people have blasphem'd thy name, O Lord.
How long, Lord, shall the enemy thus in reproach exclaim? And shall the adversary thus always blaspheme thy name?
And to our neighbours' bosom cause it sev'n-fold render'd be, Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have, O Lord, reproached thee.
