| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. God, we have heard with our ears-- our ancestors have told us-- the work You accomplished in their days, in days long ago: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2to plant them, You drove out the nations with Your hand; to settle them, You crushed the peoples. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For they did not take the land by their sword-- their arm did not bring them victory-- but by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, for You were pleased with them. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You are my King, my God, who ordains victories for Jacob. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Through You we drive back 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, and my sword does not bring me victory. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But You give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8We boast in God all day long; we will praise Your name forever. Selah |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9But You have rejected and humiliated us; You do not march out with our armies. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You make us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have taken plunder for themselves. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You hand us over to be eaten like sheep and scatter us among the nations. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12You sell Your people for nothing; You make no profit from selling them. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You make us a joke among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My disgrace is before me all day long, and shame has covered my face, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16because of the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy and avenger. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17All this has happened to us, but 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 a haunt of jackals and have covered us with deepest darkness. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20If we had forgotten the name of our God and spread out our hands to a foreign god, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21wouldn't God have found this out, since He knows the secrets of the heart? |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Because of You we are slain all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Wake up, LORD! Why are You sleeping? Get up! Don't reject us forever! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Why do You hide Yourself and forget our affliction and oppression? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For we have sunk down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Rise up! Help us! Redeem us because of Your faithful love. |
