| 1 | O God, why hast thou cast vs off for euer? why doeth thine anger smoke against the sheepe of thy pasture? |
| 2 | Remember thy Congregation which thou hast purchased of olde: the rod of thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed, this mount Sion, wherein thou hast dwelt. |
| 3 | Lift vp thy feete vnto the perpetuall desolations: euen all that the enemie hath done wickedly in the Sanctuarie. |
| 4 | Thine enemies roare in the midst of thy congregations: they set vp their ensignes for signes. |
| 5 | A man was famous according as he had lifted vp axes vpon the thicke trees. |
| 6 | But now they breake downe the carued worke thereof at once, with axes and hammers. |
| 7 | They haue cast fire into thy Sanctuary, they haue defiled by casting downe, the dwelling place of thy Nawe to the ground. |
| 8 | They said in their hearts, Let vs destroy them together: they haue burnt vp all the Synagogues of God in the land. |
| 9 | We see not our signes, there is no more any prophet, neither is there among vs any that knoweth howe long. |
| 10 | O God, how long shall the aduersarie reproach? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer? |
| 11 | Why withdrawest thou thy hand, euen thy right hand? plucke it out of thy bosome. |
| 12 | For God is my King of old working saluation in the midst of the earth. |
| 13 | Thou didst diuide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. |
| 14 | Thou brakest the heads of Leuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to bee meat to the people inhabiting the wildernesse. |
| 15 | Thou didst cleaue the fountaine and the flood: thou driedst vp mightie riuers. |
| 16 | The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne. |
| 17 | Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made Summer and Winter. |
| 18 | Remember this, that the enemie hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people haue blasphemed thy Name. |
| 19 | O deliuer not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the multitude of the wicked forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer. |
| 20 | Haue respect vnto the couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of crueltie. |
| 21 | O let not the oppressed returne ashamed: let the poore and needie praise thy name. |
| 22 | Arise, O God, plead thine owne cause: remember how the foolish man reprocheth thee daily. |
| 23 | Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise vp against thee, increaseth continually. |
