and_o yet_o there_o be_v more_o than_o a_o accommodation_n in_o they_o for_o though_o they_o do_v not_o particular_o show_v in_o that_o psalm_n that_o god_n may_v be_v justify_v in_o his_o say_n and_o overcome_v when_o he_o be_v judge_v and_o so_o be_v glorify_v by_o the_o lie_n of_o a_o liar_n yet_o they_o show_v that_o god_n may_v be_v justify_v in_o his_o say_n and_o overcome_v when_o he_o be_v
