1 To the chief Musician H5329 for the sons H1121 of Korah, H7141 Maschil. H4905 We have heard H8085 with our ears, H241 O God, H430 our fathers H1 have told H5608 us, what work H6467 thou didst H6466 in their days, H3117 in the times H3117 of old. H6924
2 How thou H859 didst drive out H3423 the heathen H1471 with thy hand, H3027 and plantedst H5193 them; how thou didst afflict H7489 the people, H3816 and cast them out. H7971
3 For H3588 they got not H3808 the land H776 in possession H3423 by their own sword, H2719 neither H3808 did their own arm H2220 save H3467 them: but H3588 thy right hand, H3225 and thine arm, H2220 and the light H216 of thy countenance, H6440 because H3588 thou hadst a favor H7521 unto them.
4 Thou H859 art my King, H4428 O God: H430 command H6680 deliverances H3444 for Jacob. H3290
5 Through thee will we push down H5055 our enemies: H6862 through thy name H8034 will we tread them under H947 that rise up against H6965 us.
6 For H3588 I will not H3808 trust H982 in my bow, H7198 neither H3808 shall my sword H2719 save H3467 me.
7 But H3588 thou hast saved H3467 us from our enemies H4480 H6862 , and hast put them to shame H954 that hated H8130 us.
8 In God H430 we boast H1984 all H3605 the day H3117 long , and praise H3034 thy name H8034 forever. H5769 Selah. H5542
9 But H637 thou hast cast off, H2186 and put us to shame; H3637 and goest not forth H3318 H3808 with our armies. H6635
10 Thou makest us to turn H7725 back H268 from H4480 the enemy: H6862 and they which hate H8130 us spoil H8154 for themselves.
11 Thou hast given H5414 us like sheep H6629 appointed for meat; H3978 and hast scattered H2219 us among the heathen. H1471
12 Thou sellest H4376 thy people H5971 for naught H3808 H1952 , and dost not H3808 increase H7235 thy wealth by their price. H4242
13 Thou makest H7760 us a reproach H2781 to our neighbors, H7934 a scorn H3933 and a derision H7047 to them that are round about H5439 us.
14 Thou makest H7760 us a byword H4912 among the heathen, H1471 a shaking H4493 of the head H7218 among the people. H3816
15 My confusion H3639 is continually H3605 H3117 before H5048 me , and the shame H1322 of my face H6440 hath covered H3680 me,
16 For the voice H4480 H6963 of him that reproacheth H2778 and blasphemeth; H1442 by reason H4480 H6440 of the enemy H341 and avenger. H5358
17 All H3605 this H2063 is come upon H935 us ; yet have we not H3808 forgotten H7911 thee, neither H3808 have we dealt falsely H8266 in thy covenant. H1285
18 Our heart H3820 is not H3808 turned H5472 back, H268 neither have our steps H838 declined H5186 from H4480 thy way; H734
19 Though H3588 thou hast sore broken H1794 us in the place H4725 of dragons, H8577 and covered H3680 H5921 us with the shadow of death. H6757
20 If H518 we have forgotten H7911 the name H8034 of our God, H430 or stretched out H6566 our hands H3709 to a strange H2114 god; H410
21 Shall not H3808 God H430 search H2713 this H2063 out? for H3588 he H1931 knoweth H3045 the secrets H8587 of the heart. H3820
22 Yea H3588 , for H5921 thy sake are we killed H2026 all H3605 the day H3117 long ; we are counted H2803 as sheep H6629 for the slaughter. H2878
23 Awake H5782 , why H4100 sleepest H3462 thou , O Lord H136 ? arise, H6974 cast H2186 us not H408 off forever. H5331
24 Wherefore H4100 hidest H5641 thou thy face, H6440 and forgettest H7911 our affliction H6040 and our oppression H3906 ?
25 For H3588 our soul H5315 is bowed down H7743 to the dust: H6083 our belly H990 cleaveth H1692 unto the earth. H776
26 Arise H6965 for our help, H5833 and redeem H6299 us for thy mercies' sake H4616 H2617 .
