Psalm 44: O God, we with our ears have heard

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P46 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases First Line: O God, we with our ears have heard Lyrics: 1O God, we with our ears have heard, our fathers have us told, What works thou in their days hadst done, ev’n in the days of old. 2Thy hand did drive the heathen out, and plant them in their place; Thou didst afflict the nations, but them thou didst increase. 3For neither got their sword the land, nor did their arm them save; But thy right hand, arm, countenance; for thou them favour gave. 4Thou art my King: for Jacob, Lord, deliv’rances command. 5Through thee we shall push down our foes, that do against us stand: We, through thy name, shall tread down those that ris’n against us have. 6For in my bow I shall not trust, nor shall my sword me save. 7But from our foes thou hast us sav’d, our haters put to shame. 8In God we all the day do boast, and ever praise thy name. 9But now we are cast off by thee, and us thou putt’st to shame; And when our armies do go forth, thou go’st not with the same. 10Thou mak’st us from the enemy, faint-hearted, to turn back; And they who hate us for themselves our spoils away do take. 11Like sheep for meat thou gavest us; ’mong heathen cast we be. 12Thou didst for nought thy people sell; their price enrich’d not thee. 13Thou mak’st us a reproach to be unto our neighbours near; Derision and a scorn to them that round about us are. 14A by-word also thou dost us among the heathen make; The people, in contempt and spite, at us their heads do shake. 15Before me my confusion continually abides; And of my bashful countenance the shame me ever hides: 16For voice of him that doth reproach, and speaketh blasphemy; By reason of th’ avenging foe, and cruel enemy. 17All this is come on us, yet we have not forgotten thee; Nor falsely in thy covenant behav’d ourselves have we. 18Back from thy way our heart not turn’d; our steps no straying made; 19Though us thou brak’st in dragons’ place, and cover’dst with death’s shade. 20If we God’s name forgot, or stretch’d to a strange god our hands, 21Shall not God search this out? for he heart’s secrets understands. 22Yea, for thy sake we’re kill’d all day, counted as slaughter-sheep. 23Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off; awake, why dost thou sleep? 24O wherefore hidest thou thy face? forgett’st our cause distress’d, 25And our oppression? For our soul is to the dust down press’d: Our belly also on the earth fast cleaving, hold doth take. 26Rise for our help, and us redeem, ev’n for thy mercies’ sake.

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P44 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Lyrics: 1 O God, we with our ears have heard, our fathers have us told, the work that in their days thou didst even in the days of old. 2 Thy hand did drive the heathen out, and plant them in their place; the nations all thou didst afflict, but them thou didst increase. 3 For neither got their sword the land, nor did their arm them save; but thy right hand, arm, countenance; for God them favour gave. 4 Thou art my King: for Jacob, Lord, deliverances command. 5 Through thee we shall push down our foes, that do against us stand: We, through thy name, shall tread down those that risen against us have. 6 For in my bow I shall not trust, nor shall my sword me save. 7 But from our foes thou hast us saved, our haters put to shame. 8 In God we all the day do boast, and ever praise thy name. 9 But now we are cast off by thee, thou puttest us to shame; and when our armies forth do go, thou goest not with them. 10 Thou mak’st us from the enemy to turn back in dismay; and they, who hate us, for themselves our spoils do take away. 11 Like sheep for meat thou gavest us, ’mong heathen cast we be. 12 Thou didst for nought thy people sell; their price enriched not thee. 13 Unto our neighbours a reproach we have been made be thee; derision and a scorn to those that round about us be. 14 A by-word also thou dost us among the heathen make; the people, in contempt and spite, at us their heads do shake. 15 Before me my confusion doth abide continually, and of my countenance the shame doth wholly cover me. 16 For voice of him that doth reproach, and speaketh blasphemy; because of the avenging foe, and cruel enemy. 17 All this is come on us, yet we have not forgotten thee; nor falsely in thy covenant behaved ourselves have we. 18 Back from thy way turned not our hearts, from thee we have not strayed; 19 though crushed by thee in dragons’ haunts, and covered with death’s shade. 20 If we God’s name forgot, or stretched to a strange god our hands, 21 shall not God search this out? for he heart's secrets understands. 22 Yea, for thy sake we’re killed all day, counted as slaughter-sheep. 23 Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off, awake, why dost thou sleep? 24 O wherefore hidest thou thy face? forgett’st our cause distressed, 25 and our oppression? For our soul down to the dust is pressed. Our body also on the earth fast cleaving hold doth take. 26 Rise for our help, and us redeem, even for thy mercies’ sake.
