BRAGADAYJAH 1379

BRAGADAYJAH 1379 Psalm 44: A prayer for the distressed For the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us what work thou did in their days in the times of old. How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and planted them; how thou didst afflict the people and cast them out. For 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 thou hadst a favour unto them. Thou art my king, O God, command deliverance for Jacob. Through thee, will we push down our enemies; through thy name will we tread them under that that rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and has put them to shame that rise up against us. In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. But thou hast cast off and put us to shame, and goeth not forth with our armies. Thou make us to turn back from the enemy, and they which hate us spoil for themselves. Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat, and has scattered us among the heathen.
