| [1] O Lorde wherfore dost thou forsake vs altogether? wherfore breaketh foorth thy anger agaynst the sheepe of thy pasture |
[1]O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? |

[8]They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. |
| [9]We see not our ensignes, there is not one prophete more: no not one is there amongst vs that vnderstandeth our case |
[9]We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. |
| [10]O Lorde shall the aduersarie do this dishonour continually? shall the enemie blaspheme thy name for euer |
[10]O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? |

[15]Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. |

| [19]O deliuer not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto a wylde beast: forget not the congregation of the poore for euer |

[22]Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. |
| [23]Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: the mutteryng of them that hate thee ascendeth vp continually |
[23]Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. |
