The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.

Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?

They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.

But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
