| [1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764] for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, MaschilH4905[H8688]. We have heardH8085[H8804] with our earsH241, O GodH430, our fathersH1 have toldH5608[H8765] us, what workH6467 thou didstH6466[H8804] in their daysH3117, in the timesH3117 of oldH6924. |
[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: |
| [2]How thou didst drive outH3423[H8689] the heathenH1471 with thy handH3027, and plantedstH5193[H8799] them; how thou didst afflictH7489[H8686] the peopleH3816, and cast them outH7971.[H8762] |
[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. |
| [3]For they gotH3423 not the landH776 in possessionH3423[H8804] by their own swordH2719, neither did their own armH2220 saveH3467[H8689] them: but thy right handH3225, and thine armH2220, and the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440, because thou hadst a favourH7521 unto themH8804. |
[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 KingH4428, O GodH430: commandH6680[H8761] deliverancesH3444 for JacobH3290. |
[4]Thou art my King, O God: send help unto Jacob. |
| [5]Through thee will we push downH5055[H8762] our enemiesH6862: through thy nameH8034 will we tread them underH947[H8799] that rise upH6965 against usH8801. |
[5]Through thee have we thrust back our adversaries: by thy name have we trodden down them that rose up against us. |
| [6]For I will not trustH982[H8799] in my bowH7198, neither shall my swordH2719 saveH3467 meH8686. |
[6]For I do not trust in my bow, neither can my sword save me. |
| [7]But thou hast savedH3467[H8689] us from our enemiesH6862, and hast put them to shameH954[H8689] that hatedH8130 usH8764. |
[7]But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate us. |
| [8]In GodH430 we boastH1984[H8765] all the dayH3117 long, and praiseH3034[H8686] thy nameH8034 for everH5769. SelahH5542. |
[8]Therefore will we praise God continually, and will confess thy name forever. Selah. |
| [9]ButH637 thou hast cast offH2186[H8804], and put us to shameH3637[H8686]; and goest not forthH3318[H8799] with our armiesH6635. |
[9]But now thou art far off, and puttest us to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies. |
| [10]Thou makest us to turnH7725[H8686] backH268 from the enemyH6862: and they which hateH8130[H8764] us spoilH8154 for themselvesH8804. |
[10]Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary, and they, which hate us, spoil for themselves. |
| [11]Thou hast givenH5414[H8799] us like sheepH6629 appointed for meatH3978; and hast scatteredH2219[H8765] us among the heathenH1471. |
[11]Thou givest us as sheep to be eaten, and dost scatter us among the nations. |
| [12]Thou sellestH4376[H8799] thy peopleH5971 for noughtH1952, and dost not increaseH7235[H8765] thy wealth by their priceH4242. |
[12]Thou sellest thy people without gain, and dost not increase their price. |
| [13]Thou makestH7760[H8799] us a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and a derisionH7047 to them that are round about usH5439. |
[13]Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a jest and a laughing stock to them that are round about us. |
| [14]Thou makestH7760[H8799] us a bywordH4912 among the heathenH1471, a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the peopleH3816. |
[14]Thou makest us a proverb among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people. |
| [15]My confusionH3639 is continuallyH3117 before me, and the shameH1322 of my faceH6440 hath coveredH3680 meH8765, |
[15]My confusion is daily before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
| [16]For the voiceH6963 of him that reproachethH2778[H8764] and blasphemethH1442[H8764]; by reasonH6440 of the enemyH341[H8802] and avengerH5358.[H8693] |
[16]For the voice of the slanderer and rebuker, for the enemy and avenger. |
| [17]All this is comeH935[H8804] upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911[H8804] thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266[H8765] in thy covenantH1285. |
[17]All this is come upon us, yet do we not forget thee, neither deal we falsely concerning thy covenant. |
| [18]Our heartH3820 is not turnedH5472[H8738] backH268, neither have our stepsH838 declinedH5186[H8799] from thy wayH734; |
[18]Our heart is not turned back: neither our steps gone out of thy paths, |
| [19]Though thou hast sore brokenH1794[H8765] us in the placeH4725 of dragonsH8577, and coveredH3680[H8762] us with the shadow of deathH6757. |
[19]Albeit thou hast smitten us down into the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. |
| [20]If we have forgottenH7911[H8804] the nameH8034 of our GodH430, or stretched outH6566[H8799] our handsH3709 to a strangeH2114[H8801] godH410; |
[20]If we have forgotten the name of our God, and holden up our hands to a strange god, |
| [21]Shall not GodH430 search this outH2713[H8799]? for he knowethH3045[H8802] the secretsH8587 of the heartH3820. |
[21]Shall not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
| [22]Yea, for thy sake are we killedH2026[H8795] all the dayH3117 long; we are countedH2803[H8738] as sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878. |
[22]Surely for thy sake are we slain continually, and are counted as sheep for the slaughter. |
| [23]AwakeH5782[H8798], why sleepestH3462[H8799] thou, O LordH136? ariseH6974[H8685], cast us not offH2186[H8799] for everH5331. |
[23]Up, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake, be not far off forever. |
| [24]Wherefore hidestH5641[H8686] thou thy faceH6440, and forgettestH7911[H8799] our afflictionH6040 and our oppressionH3906? |
[24]Wherefore hidest thou thy face? And forgettest our misery and our affliction? |
| [25]For our soulH5315 is bowed downH7743[H8804] to the dustH6083: our bellyH990 cleavethH1692[H8804] unto the earthH776. |
[25]For our soul is beaten down unto the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the ground. |
| [26]AriseH6965[H8798] for our helpH5833, and redeemH6299[H8798] us for thy mercies' sakeH2617. |
[26]Rise up for our succor, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
