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:
Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.

Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. Selah.

Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.

Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
