| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2You with Your own hand drove out the nations; Then You planted them; You afflicted the peoples, Then You spread them abroad. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You cause us to turn back from the adversary; And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You give us as sheep to be eaten And have scattered us among the nations. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12You sell Your people cheaply, And have not profited by their sale. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15All day long my dishonor is before me And my humiliation has overwhelmed me, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You, And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Our heart has not turned back, And our steps have not deviated from Your way, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Yet You have crushed us in a place of jackals And covered us with the shadow of death. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20If we had forgotten the name of our God Or extended our hands to a strange god, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Would not God find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22But for Your sake we are killed all day long; We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Arouse Yourself, why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not reject us forever. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Why do You hide Your face And forget our affliction and our oppression? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For our soul has sunk down into the dust; Our body cleaves to the earth. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Rise up, be our help, And redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness. |
