- 0. A Psalme to giue instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah.
- 1. Wee haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
- 2. Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, & planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, & caused them to grow.
- 3. For they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour them.
- 4. Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
- 5. Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
- 6. For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
- 7. But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
- 8. Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. Selah.
- 9. But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
- 10. Thou makest vs to turne backe fro the aduersary, & they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
- 11. Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
- 12. Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
- 13. Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
- 14. Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, & a nodding of the head among the people.
- 15. My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
- 16. For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
- 17. All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
- 18. Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
- 19. Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
- 20. If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
- 21. Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
- 22. Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, & are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
- 23. Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
- 24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
- 25. For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
- 26. Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
