| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart? |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion. |
