| [1]We have heard with our ears, O God: our fathers have told us the works, that thou hast done in their days, in the old time: |
[No book] |
| [2]How thou hast driven out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow. |
[No book] |
| [3]For they inherited not the land by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou didst favor them. |

| [4]Thou art my King, O God: send help unto Jacob. |

| [5]Through thee have we thrust back our adversaries: by thy name have we trodden down them that rose up against us. |
[No book] |
| [6]For I do not trust in my bow, neither can my sword save me. |
[No book] |
| [7]But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate us. |
[No book] |
| [8]Therefore will we praise God continually, and will confess thy name forever. Selah. |

| [11]Thou givest us as sheep to be eaten, and dost scatter us among the nations. |
[No book] |
| [12]Thou sellest thy people without gain, and dost not increase their price. |
[No book] |
| [13]Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a jest and a laughing stock to them that are round about us. |
[No book] |
| [14]Thou makest us a proverb among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people. |
[No book] |
| [15]My confusion is daily before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
[No book] |
| [16]For the voice of the slanderer and rebuker, for the enemy and avenger. |
[No book] |
| [17]All this is come upon us, yet do we not forget thee, neither deal we falsely concerning thy covenant. |
[No book] |
| [18]Our heart is not turned back: neither our steps gone out of thy paths, |
[No book] |
| [19]Albeit thou hast smitten us down into the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. |
[No book] |
| [20]If we have forgotten the name of our God, and holden up our hands to a strange god, |
[No book] |
| [21]Shall not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
[No book] |
| [22]Surely for thy sake are we slain continually, and are counted as sheep for the slaughter. |
[No book] |
| [23]Up, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake, be not far off forever. |
[No book] |
| [24]Wherefore hidest thou thy face? And forgettest our misery and our affliction? |
[No book] |
| [25]For our soul is beaten down unto the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the ground. |
[No book] |
| [26]Rise up for our succor, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
