      | ¶ | [[To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.]] We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. | |
 | [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. | ||
| For they got not the land in possession 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 hadst a favour unto them. | ||
| Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. | ||
| Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. | ||
| For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. | ||
| But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. | ||
| In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. | ||
| But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. | ||
| Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. | ||
| Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. | ||
| Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price. | ||
| Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. | ||
| Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. | ||
| My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, | ||
| For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. | ||
| All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. | ||
| Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; | ||
| Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. | ||
| If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; | ||
| Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. | ||
| Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. | ||
| Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever. | ||
| Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression? | ||
| For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. | ||
| Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
