13 Deus meus pone illos ut rotam sicut stipulam ante faciem venti
O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.
14 sicut ignis qui conburit silvam sicut flamma conburens montes
As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:
15 ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua et in ira tua turbabis eos
So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.
16 imple facies illorum ignominia et quaerent nomen tuum Domine

17 erubescant et conturbentur in saeculum saeculi et confundantur et pereant
Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.
18 et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus tu solus Altissimus in omni terra
And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.
