\d For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. A maschil.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 We have heard with our ears, God,
|
|
\q our fathers have told us
|
|
\q what work you did in their days,
|
|
\q in the days of old.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 You drove out the nations with your hand,
|
|
\q but you planted our people;
|
|
\q you afflicted the peoples,
|
|
\q but you spread our people out in the land.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 For they did not obtain the land for their possession by their own sword,
|
|
\q neither did their own arm save them;
|
|
\q but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face,
|
|
\q because you were favorable to them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 God, You are my King;
|
|
\q command victory for Jacob.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Through you we will push down our adversaries;
|
|
\q through your name we will tread them under, those who rise up against us.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 For I will not trust in my bow,
|
|
\q neither will my sword save me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 But you have saved us from our adversaries,
|
|
\q and have put to shame those who hate us.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 In God we have made our boast all the day long,
|
|
\q and we will give thanks to your name forever.
|

\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 But now you have thrown us off and brought us dishonor,
|
|
\q and you do not go out with our armies.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 You make us turn back from the adversary;
|
|
\q and those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 You have made us like sheep destined for food
|
|
\q and have scattered us among the nations.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 You sell your people for nothing;
|
|
\q you have not increased your wealth by doing so.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 You make us a rebuke to our neighbors,
|
|
\q scoffed and mocked by those around us.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 You make us an insult among the nations,
|
|
\q a shaking of the head among the peoples.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 All the day long my dishonor is before me,
|
|
\q and the shame of my face has covered me
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 because of the voice of him who rebukes and insults,
|
|
\q because of the enemy and the avenger.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 All this has come on us; yet we have not forgotten you
|
|
\q or dealt falsely with your covenant.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 Our heart has not turned back;
|
|
\q our steps have not gone from your way.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 Yet you have severely broken us in the place of jackals
|
|
\q and covered us with the shadow of death.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 If we have forgotten the name of our God
|
|
\q or spread out our hands to a strange god,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 would not God search this out?
|
|
\q For he knows the secrets of the heart.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 Indeed, for your sake we are being killed all day long;
|
|
\q we are considered to be sheep for the slaughter.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 Awake, why do you sleep, Lord?
|
|
\q Arise, do not throw us off permanently.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 24 Why do you hide your face
|
|
\q and forget our affliction and our oppression?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 25 For we have melted away into the dust;
|
|
\q our bodies cling to the earth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 26 Rise up for our help
|
|
\q and redeem us for the sake of your covenant faithfulness.
