So Persecute Them

Greg sends a link to the WSJ article Cry Bias, and Let Slip the Blogs of War, which I ought to have read in full, but I only skimmed it before wandering off on a link-by-link tangent that brought me to one of those very blogs, Dadmanly, and his most recent entry concerned an item I had noticed this morning but didn't bother blogging.

Dublin, Ireland:
Irish archaeologists Tuesday heralded the discovery of an ancient book of psalms by a construction worker who spotted something while driving the shovel of his backhoe into a bog....

That was interesting enough, but Dadmanly read further and noticed something else:

The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83...

Here's the KJV of Psalms 83:

1. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
...

13. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15. So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

Amen to that.
