CHAP. XLIV.

1 The Church, in memory of former fauours, 7 complaineth of their present euils. 17 Professing her integritie, 24 She feruently prayeth for succour.

¹[To the chiefe Musician for the sonnes of Korah.] 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.

²How thou didst driue out the heathen with thy hand, & plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

³For 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.

⁴Thou art my King, O God: command deliuerances for Iacob.

⁵Through thee will wee push downe our enemies: through thy Name will wee tread them vnder that rise vp against vs.

⁶For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword saue me.

⁷But thou hast saued vs from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated vs.

⁸In God we boast all the day long: and praise thy Name for euer. Selah.

⁹But thou hast cast off and put vs to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

¹⁰Thou makest vs to turne backe from the enemie: and they which hate vs, spoile for themselues.

¹¹Thou hast giuen vs like sheepe appointed for meate: and hast scattered vs among the heathen.¹¹

¹²Thou sellest thy people for nought, and doest not increase thy wealth by their price.¹²

¹³Thou makest vs a reproch to our neighbours, a scorne and a derision to them that are round about vs.¹³

¹⁴Thou makest vs a by-word among the heathen: a shaking of the head among the people.¹⁴

¹⁵My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me.

¹⁶For the voice of him that reproacheth, and blasphemeth: by reason of the enemie and auenger.

¹⁷All this is come vpon vs; yet haue wee not forgotten thee, neither haue we dealt falsly in thy couenant.

¹⁸Our heart is not turned backe: neither haue our steps declined from thy way,¹⁸

¹⁹Though thou hast sore broken vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.

²⁰If wee haue forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange God:

²¹Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

²²Yea for thy sake are wee killed all the day long: wee are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.²²

²³Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast vs not off for euer.

²⁴Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our affliction, and our oppression?

²⁵For our soule is bowed downe to the dust; our belly cleaueth vnto the earth.

²⁶Arise for our helpe, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.²⁶
