[verse 14] Thus we serue for none other vse, but for a common talke: They mock, they scorn, and nod their heds where euer they go or walke. [verse 15] I am a shamd continually, to heare these wicked men: Yea so I blush, that all my face, with red is couered then.

[verse 16] For why? we heare such sclaundrous words suche false report and lyes: That death it is to see their wronges, their threatnings and their cryes. [verse 17] For all this we forgot not thee, nor yet thy couenant brake: [verse 18] We turn not back our harts from thee, nor yet thy pathes forsake.

[verse 19] Yet thou hast trod vs downe to dust, where dennes of dragons be: And couered vs with shade of death:

and great aduersitie. [verse 20] If we had our Gods name forgot, and helpe of idols sought: [verse 21] Would not god then haue tried this out for he doth know our thought.

[verse 22] Nay, nay, for thy names sake, O Lorde alwayes are we slaine thus: Aa shepe vnto the shambles sent, right so they deale with vs. [verse 23] Up Lorde why slepest thou awake, and leaue vs not for all: [verse 24] Why hidest thou thy countenaunce, and dost forget our thrall?

[verse 25] For downe to dust, our soule is brought and we now at last cast: Our belly lyke as it were glude, vnto the ground cleaueth fast. [verse 26] Rise vp therfore for our defence, and helpe vs Lorde at nede: We thee bese the for thy goodnes, to rescue vs with spede.
