To the chief MusicianH5329 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, MaschilH4905. We have heardH8085 with our earsH241, O GodH430, our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us, what workH6467 thou didstH6466 in their daysH3117, in the timesH3117 of oldH6924.
How thou didst drive outH3423 the heathenH1471 with thy handH3027, and plantedstH5193 them; how thou didst afflictH7489 the peopleH3816, and cast them outH7971.
For they gotH3423 not the landH776 in possessionH3423 by their own swordH2719, neither did their own armH2220 saveH3467 them: but thy right handH3225, and thine armH2220, and the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440, because thou hadst a favourH7521 unto them.
Thou art my KingH4428, O GodH430: commandH6680 deliverancesH3444 for JacobH3290.
Through thee will we push downH5055 our enemiesH6862: through thy nameH8034 will we tread them underH947 that rise upH6965 against us.
For I will not trustH982 in my bowH7198, neither shall my swordH2719 saveH3467 me.
But thou hast savedH3467 us from our enemiesH6862, and hast put them to shameH954 that hatedH8130 us.
In GodH430 we boastH1984 all the dayH3117 long, and praiseH3034 thy nameH8034 for everH5769. SelahH5542.
ButH637 thou hast cast offH2186, and put us to shameH3637; and goest not forthH3318 with our armiesH6635.
Thou makest us to turnH7725 backH268 from the enemyH6862: and they which hateH8130 us spoilH8154 for themselves.
Thou hast givenH5414 us like sheepH6629 appointed for meatH3978; and hast scatteredH2219 us among the heathenH1471. {like…: Heb. as sheep of meat}
Thou sellestH4376 thy peopleH5971 for noughtH1952, and dost not increaseH7235 thy wealth by their priceH4242. {for…: Heb. without riches}
Thou makestH7760 us a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and a derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us.
Thou makestH7760 us a bywordH4912 among the heathenH1471, a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the peopleH3816.
My confusionH3639 is continuallyH3117 before me, and the shameH1322 of my faceH6440 hath coveredH3680 me,
For the voiceH6963 of him that reproachethH2778 and blasphemethH1442; by reasonH6440 of the enemyH341 and avengerH5358.
All this is comeH935 upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911 thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266 in thy covenantH1285.
Our heartH3820 is not turnedH5472 backH268, neither have our stepsH838 declinedH5186 from thy wayH734; {steps: or, goings}
Though thou hast sore brokenH1794 us in the placeH4725 of dragonsH8577, and coveredH3680 us with the shadow of deathH6757.
If we have forgottenH7911 the nameH8034 of our GodH430, or stretched outH6566 our handsH3709 to a strangeH2114 godH410;
Shall not GodH430 search this outH2713? for he knowethH3045 the secretsH8587 of the heartH3820.
Yea, for thy sake are we killedH2026 all the dayH3117 long; we are countedH2803 as sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878.
AwakeH5782, why sleepestH3462 thou, O LordH136? ariseH6974, cast us not offH2186 for everH5331.
Wherefore hidestH5641 thou thy faceH6440, and forgettestH7911 our afflictionH6040 and our oppressionH3906?
For our soulH5315 is bowed downH7743 to the dustH6083: our bellyH990 cleavethH1692 unto the earthH776.
AriseH6965 for our helpH5833, and redeemH6299 us for thy mercies'H2617 sake. {for our…: Heb. a help for us}
