| 1 | Wee haue heard with our eares, O God, our fathers haue told vs, what worke thou didst in their dayes, in the times of old. |
| 2 | How thou didst driue out the heathen with thy hand, & plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. |
| 3 | For they got not the land in possession by their owne sword, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a fauour vnto them. |
| 4 | Thou art my King, O God: command deliuerances for Iacob. |
| 5 | Through thee will wee push downe our enemies: through thy Name will wee tread them vnder that rise vp against vs. |
| 6 | For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword saue me. |
| 7 | But thou hast saued vs from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated vs. |
| 8 | In God we boast all the day long: and praise thy Name for euer. Selah. |
| 9 | But thou hast cast off and put vs to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. |
| 10 | Thou makest vs to turne backe from the enemie: and they which hate vs, spoile for themselues. |
| 11 | Thou hast giuen vs like sheepe appointed for meate: and hast scattered vs among the heathen. |
| 12 | Thou sellest thy people for nought, and doest not increase thy wealth by their price. |
| 13 | Thou makest vs a reproch to our neighbours, a scorne and a derision to them that are round about vs. |
| 14 | Thou makest vs a by-word among the heathen: a shaking of the head among the people. |
| 15 | My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me. |
| 16 | For the voice of him that reproacheth, and blasphemeth: by reason of the enemie and auenger. |
| 17 | All this is come vpon vs; yet haue wee not forgotten thee, neither haue we dealt falsly in thy couenant. |
| 18 | Our heart is not turned backe: neither haue our steps declined from thy way, |
| 19 | Though thou hast sore broken vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death. |
| 20 | If wee haue forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange God: |
| 21 | Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
| 22 | Yea for thy sake are wee killed all the day long: wee are counted as sheepe for the slaughter. |
| 23 | Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast vs not off for euer. |
| 24 | Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our affliction, and our oppression? |
| 25 | For our soule is bowed downe to the dust; our belly cleaueth vnto the earth. |
| 26 | Arise for our helpe, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake. |
