{Maschil of Asaph.} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
