Psal Geneva15 44:1  To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We 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:
Psal Geneva15 44:2  Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
Psal Geneva15 44:3  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.
Psal Geneva15 44:5  Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
Psal Geneva15 44:6  For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
Psal Geneva15 44:7  But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.

Psal Geneva15 44:12  Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
Psal Geneva15 44:13  Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
Psal Geneva15 44:14  Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
Psal Geneva15 44:15  My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
Psal Geneva15 44:16  For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
Psal Geneva15 44:17  All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
Psal Geneva15 44:18  Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
Psal Geneva15 44:19  Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
Psal Geneva15 44:20  If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
Psal Geneva15 44:21  Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Psal Geneva15 44:22  Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
Psal Geneva15 44:23  Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
Psal Geneva15 44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
Psal Geneva15 44:25  For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
Psal Geneva15 44:26  Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
