Translation by Bible or other Sacred Texts
O Lord thou doest revenge all wrong
Language: English after the Latin
O Lord thou doest revenge all wrong,
That office ’longes to thee:
Sith vengeaunce doth to thee belong,
Declare that all may see.
Set forth thy selfe for thou of right,
The earth doest judge and guide:
Reward the proud and men of might,
According to their pride.
How long shall wicked men beare sway,
With liftyng up their voyce?
How long shall wicked men I say
Thus triumph and rejoyce?
How long shall they with brags burst out,
And proudly prate their fill?
Shall they rejoyce which be so stout,
Whose workes are ever ill?
