We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the days of old. |
2
|
Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand, and plantedst them in; thou didst afflict the peoples, and didst spread them abroad. |
3
|
For they gat 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. |
4
|
Thou art my King, O God: command deliverance for Jacob. |
5
|
Through thee will we push down our adversaries: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. |
6
|
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. |
7
|
But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us. |
8
|
In God have we made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. {cf15i Selah} |
9
|
But now thou hast cast {cf15i us} off, and brought us to dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts. |
10
|
Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. |
11
|
Thou hast given us like sheep {cf15i appointed} for meat; and hast scattered us among the nations. |
12
|
Thou sellest thy people for nought, and hast not increased {cf15i thy wealth} by their price. |
13
|
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. |
14
|
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. |
15
|
All the day long is my dishonour before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
16
|
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger. |
17
|
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. |
18
|
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; |
19
|
That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death. |
20
|
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god; |
21
|
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
22
|
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. |
23
|
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast {cf15i us} not off for ever. |
24
|
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? |
25
|
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. |
26
|
Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy lovingkindness- sake. |
