Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PXLIV (1742) First Line: We with our ears have heard, O God Lyrics: 1 We with our ears have heard, O God,
Our fathers have us told,
What works thou wroughtest in their days,
Ev'n in the times of old
2 How thy hand drave the heathen out,
And planted them thou hast;
How thou the people didst afflict,
And out thy didst them cast.
3 For by their sword they did not get
The land's possession.
Nor was it their own arm that did
Work their salvation;
But thy right hand, thine arm also,
Thy countenances light;
Because that of thine own good will
Thou didst in them delight.
4 Thou art my king, O mighty God,
Thou dost the same endure;
For Jacob by commandement
Deliverance procure.
5 Thro' thee as with an horn we will
Push down our enemies:
We thro' thy name will tread them down
That up against me rise.
6 Because it is not in my bow
That I affiance have:
Nor is it any sword of mine,
That shall at all me save.
7 But thou hast from our foes us sav'd,
And haters put to shame:
8 In God we all the day do boast,
And praise for aye thy name.
9 But now thou hast forsaken us,
And shame upon us cast:
Nor with our military troops
Gone forth to battel hast.
10 Back from before the enemy,
Thou mak'st us to recoyl:
They also that our haters be.
Do from themselves us spoil.
11 Thou hast us given like as sheep,
To slaughter that belong:
Thou hast us also scattered
The heathen folk among.
12 Thou dost thy people set to sale
For that which is no gain:
And by their prices no increase
Of riches dost obtain.
13 Unto our neighbours a reproach
Thou doest us expose:
A scorn we are and mocking stock
To them that us enclose.
14 Among the heathen people thou
A by-word dost us make,
Also among the nations,
At us their head they shake.
15 Before mine eyes continually
Abideth my disgrace:
And likewise with comfounded shame
O'er-covered is my face.
16 By reason of the enemy
And self-revenging wight.
17 Though all of this be come on us,
We have not thee forgot:
Likewise against thy covenant
Dealt falsly have we not.
18 Our hearts not turned back, nor have
Our steps from thy way stray'd.
19 Tho' us thou break'st in dragon's place
And hid'st us in death's shade.
20 Had we forgot God's name, or to
A strange God stretch'd our hands:
21 Shall not God search it out? for he
Hearts secrets understands.
22 Yea, we for thee are all day kill'd,
Counted as sheep to slay:
23 Awake, why sleep'st thou, Lord, arise,
Cast us not off for aye.
24 Thy countenance away from us
O wherefore dost thou hide?
Why dost thou mindless of our grief,
And sore distress abide?
25 For down to dust our soul is bow'd;
To th' earth our bellies cleave
26 O thou that art our help, arise,
In mercy us relieve. Scripture: Psalm 44 Languages: English
To the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah, Maschil.

O God, we with our ears have heard
O God, we with our ears have heard
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P44 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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. Scripture: Psalm 44 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 44TH
