| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1God, we heard it with our ears; our ancestors told us about what you did in their day— a long time ago. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2With your hand you expelled the nations and established our ancestors. You afflicted nations and cast them out. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3It was not with their sword that they inherited the land, nor did their own arm deliver them. But it was by your power, your strength, and by the light of your face; because you were pleased with them. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You are my king, God, command victories for Jacob. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Through you we will knock down our oppressors; through your name we will tread down those who rise up against us. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For I place no confidence in my bow, nor will my sword deliver me. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For you delivered us from our oppressors and put to shame those who hate us. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8We will praise God all day long; and to your name we will give thanks forever. Interlude |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9However, you cast us off and made us ashamed! You did not even march with our armies! |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You made us retreat from our oppressors. Our enemies ransacked us. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You handed us over to be slaughtered like sheep and you scattered us among the nations. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12You sold out your people for nothing, and made no profit at that price. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You made us a laughing stock to our neighbors, a source of mockery and derision to those around us. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You made us an object lesson among the nations; people shake their heads at us. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My dishonor tortures me continuously; the shame on my face overwhelms me |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16because of the voice of the one who mocks and reviles, because of the enemy and the avenger. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17All this came upon us, yet we did not forsake you, and we have not dealt falsely with your covenant; |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Our hearts have not turned away; our steps have not swerved from your path. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Nevertheless, you crushed us in the lair of jackals, and covered us in deep darkness. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20If we had forgotten the name of our God or lifted our hands to a foreign god, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21wouldn't God find out since he knows the secrets of the heart? |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22For your sake we are being killed all day long. We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Wake up! Why are you asleep, Lord? Get up! Don't cast us off forever! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Why are you hiding your face? Why are you ignoring our affliction and oppression? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For we have collapsed in the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Arise! Deliver us! Redeem us according to your gracious love! |
