| [1]For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. |
[No book] |
| [2]O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old. |
[No book] |
| [3]Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad. |
[No book] |
| [4]For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou w favourable unto them. |
[No book] |
| [5]Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob. |
[No book] |
| [6]Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us. |
[No book] |
| [7]For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me. |
[No book] |
| [8]But Thou hast saved us from adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us. |
[No book] |
| [9]In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah |
[No book] |
| [10]Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts. |
[No book] |
| [11]Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will. |
[No book] |
| [12]Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations. |
[No book] |
| [13]Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high. |
[No book] |
| [14]Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. |
[No book] |
| [15]Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. |
[No book] |
| [16]All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
[No book] |
| [17]For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful. |
[No book] |
| [18]All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant. |
[No book] |
| [19]Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path; |
[No book] |
| [20]Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death. |
[No book] |
| [21]If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god; |
[No book] |
| [22]Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
[No book] |
| [23]Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. |
[No book] |
| [24]Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever. |
[No book] |
| [25]Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? |
[No book] |
| [26]For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth. |
[No book] |
| [27]Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake. |
