- 0. [To the chiefe musition, <BR />a wise instruction of the sonnes of Corach.]
- 1. We haue hearde with our eares O Lorde: our fathers haue tolde vs what workes thou hast done in their daies in the olde tyme.
- 2. Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thy hande and planted them in: howe thou hast destroyed the nations & placed them.
- 3. For they gat not the lande in possession through their owne sworde: neither was it their owne arme that saued them. But thy ryght hande, and thine arme, & the lyght of thy countenaunce: because thou hadst a fauour vnto them.
- 4. Thou art my kyng O Lorde: commaunde that Iacob be saued.
- 5. Through thee we wyll ouerthrowe our enemies: and in thy name we wyll treade them vnder that ryse vp agaynst vs.
- 6. For I wyll not trust in my bowe: and it is not my sworde that can saue me.
- 7. But it is thou that sauest vs from our enemies: and thou puttest them to confusion that hate vs.
- 8. We make our boast of God all the day long: and we wyll confesse thy name for euer. Selah.
- 9. But nowe thou art farre of, and thou puttest vs to confusion: neither goest thou foorth with our armies.
- 10. Thou makest vs to turne away backwarde from the enemie: so that they which hate vs, do make vs a spoyle vnto them.
- 11. Thou hast delyuered vs as sheepe to be eaten: and thou hast scattered vs among the heathen.
- 12. Thou hast solde thy people for naught: and thou hast taken no money for them.
- 13. Thou hast made vs a rebuke to our neighbours: to be laughed to scorne and had in derision of them that are rounde about vs.
- 14. Thou hast made vs [to be] a fable among the heathen: [and to be such] that the people shake their head at vs.
- 15. My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face couereth me:
- 16. for [to heare] the voyce of the slaunderer & blasphemer, and for to see the enemie and the auenger.
- 17. [And though] all this be come vpon vs: [yet] we do not forget thee, nor shewe our selues to be false in thy couenaunt.
- 18. Our heart is not turned backe, neither our steppes be declined out of thy pathes:
- 19. no not when thou hast smitten vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadowe of death.
- 20. If we had forgotten the name of our Lorde, and holden vp our handes to any straunge god:
- 21. woulde not God searche it out? for he knoweth the very secretes of the heart.
- 22. For thy sake also are we kylled all the day long: and are counted as sheepe appoynted to be slayne.
- 23. Stirre vp O Lorde, why slepest thou? awake & be not absent from vs for euer:
- 24. wherfore hydest thou thy face, and forgettest our miserie and tribulation?
- 25. For our soule is brought lowe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the grounde.
- 26. Aryse vp thou our ayde, and redeeme vs: for thy louyng kindnesse sake.
