God

But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.

And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.

He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.

Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.

A Psalme committed to Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance: thine holy Temple haue they defiled, and made Ierusalem heapes of stones.

The dead bodies of thy seruats haue they giuen to be meat vnto foules of ye heauen: and the flesh of thy Saintes vnto the beastes of the earth.

Lord, howe long wilt thou be angrie, for euer? shall thy gelousie burne like fire?

Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen that haue not knowen thee, and vpon the kingdomes that haue not called vpon thy Name.

Remember not against vs the former iniquities, but make haste and let thy tender mercies preuent vs: for we are in great miserie.

Helpe vs, O God of our saluation, for the glorie of thy Name, and deliuer vs, and be mercifull vnto our sinnes for thy Names sake.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be knowen among the heathen in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy seruants that is shed.

Let the sighing of the prisoners come before thee: according to thy mightie arme preserue the children of death,

And render to our neighbours seuen folde into their bosome their reproche, wherewith they haue reproched thee, O Lord.

So wee thy people, and sheepe of thy pasture shall praise thee for euer: and from generation to generation we will set foorth thy praise.

To him that excelleth on Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Heare, O thou Shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like sheepe: shewe thy brightnes, thou that sittest betweene the Cherubims.

Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.

Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued.

O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?

Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her?

Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,

And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.

It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

Let thine hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the sonne of man, whome thou madest strong for thine owne selfe.
