1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fa­thers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 How thou didst drive out the hea­then with thy hand, and plant­edst them; how thou didst af­flict the peo­ple, and cast them out.
3 For they got 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 de­liv­er­ances for Ja­cob.
5 Through thee will we push down our en­e­mies: 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 en­e­mies, and hast put them to shame that hat­ed us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ev­er. Se­lah.
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Thou mak­est us to turn back from the en­e­my: and they which hate us spoil for them­selves.
11 Thou hast giv­en us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scat­tered us among the hea­then.
12 Thou sell­est thy peo­ple for nought, and dost not in­crease 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 hea­then, a shak­ing of the head among the peo­ple.
15 My con­fu­sion is con­tin­u­al­ly 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 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 Though thou hast sore bro­ken us in the place of drag­ons, and cov­ered us with the shad­ow of death.
20 If we have for­got­ten the name of our God, or stretched out 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 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 Arise for our help, and re­deem us for thy mer­cies' sake.
