12 O help us against the enemy: for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do great acts: and it is he that shall

tread down our enemies.

PSALM 109. _Deus, laudem_.

Hold not thy tongue, O God of my praise: for the mouth of the

ungodly, yea, the mouth of the deceitful is opened upon me.

2 And they have spoken against me with false tongues: they compassed

me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a

cause.

3 For the love that I had unto them, lo, they take now my contrary

part: but I give myself unto prayer.

4 Thus have they rewarded me evil for good: and hatred for my good

will.

5 Set thou an ungodly man to be ruler over him: and let Satan stand

at his right hand.

6 When sentence is given upon him, let him be condemned: and let

his prayer be turned into sin.
