We have heard with our ears, God; Our fathers have told us ,
What
work you did in their days, In the days of old.

Your
hand

cast
them out

your
hand,
But
you
planted them.
You afflicted
the peoples ,
But
you
spread
them abroad

For it
was
not
by
their
sword
that
they took
the land ;
their arm
did not
bring
them victory.
It
was
by
Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored
them.
For they didn't
get
the land in
possession
by
their own
sword,
Neither
did their
own
arm
save
them ;
But
your right hand, and
your arm, and the light of your face, Because you were
favorable
to
them.

we push
down
our adversaries.
Through your name ,
will
we tread
them
under
who
rise
up
against
us

For I do
not trust in my bow, nor
does
my sword save me.
For I will
not trust in my bow, Neither
shall
my sword save me.
For
You save
us from our enemies;
You
put
those who hate us to
shame
.
But
you have
saved
us from our adversaries,
And
have
shamed
those who hate us.

all day long, and
Your
name
we will praise
forever. Selah

rejected and humbled
us ;
You
no
longer
go forth
with our armies.
But now
you rejected us,
and brought
us to
dishonor,
And
don't
go out
with our armies.
You have
made
us retreat
from the foe,
and
those who hate us have
plundered
us
.
You make
us turn
back
from the adversary.
Those who hate us take
spoil
for
themselves

us up
as
sheep to
be
devoured;
You
have scattered us among the nations.

derision to those who
are
around us.

made
us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock
among the peoples.

us a byword among the nations, A shaking
of
the
head
among the peoples.
All day long my disgrace
is before me, and shame has
covered
my face,
All day long my dishonor
is before me, And shame covers
my face,
at the voice
of the
scorner
and reviler
, because of the enemy ,
bent
on
revenge
.
At the taunt
of one
who
reproaches
and verbally
abuses
, Because of the enemy and
the
avenger
.
All this has come upon
us, though
we
have not forgotten You or
betrayed
Your covenant.
All this has come on
us, Yet
have we
not forgotten you ,
Neither
have
we
been
false
to
your covenant.
Our hearts
have
not turned back ;
our steps have
not
strayed from Your path .
Our heart
has
not turned back ,
Neither
have
our steps strayed from your path ,

You have crushed us in the lair
of jackals ;
You
have
covered us with deepest
darkness
.
Though
you have crushed us in the haunt
of jackals ,
And
covered us with the
shadow
of
death
.
If we had
forgotten the name of our God or spread out
our hands to a foreign
god ,
If we have
forgotten the name of our God ,
Or spread forth
our hands to a strange
god ;
would
not
God have
discovered,
since
He knows the secrets of the heart ?
Won't
God search
this
out?
For
he knows the secrets of the heart .
Yet
for Your sake we face
death
all day long ;
we are considered
as sheep to
be
slaughtered
.
Yes,
for your sake we are
killed
all day long .
We are regarded
as sheep for
the
slaughter
.
Wake up ,
O
Lord
! Why are
You sleeping
? Arise! Do
not
reject us forever.
Wake up! Why do
you sleep,
Lord
? Arise! Don't
reject us forever.
Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
Why do you hide your face ,
And forget our affliction and our
oppression?
For our soul has
sunk
to the dust ;
our bodies
cling
to the earth.
For our soul is
bowed
down
to the dust .
Our body
cleaves
to the earth.
Rise up ;
be
our
help !
Redeem us on
account
of
Your loving devotion
.
Rise up to
help us.
Redeem us for
your loving kindness'
sake
.
