E have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

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

3 For a they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because b thou hadst a favour unto them.

8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 9 But thou hast cast off, é and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

11 Thou hast given us 1 like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

10 Fore he seeth that wise men

die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
