[1]
our fathers have told us what work you did in their days,
in the days of old.
[2] You drove out the nations with your hand,
but you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples,
but you spread them abroad.
[3] For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them;
but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face,
because you were favorable to them.
[4] God, you are my King.
Command victories for Jacob!
[5] Through you, we will push down our adversaries.
Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
[6] For I will not trust in my bow,
neither will my sword save me.
[7] But you have saved us from our adversaries,
and have shamed those who hate us.
[8] In God we have made our boast all day long.
We will give thanks to your name forever.
Selah. [9] But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor,
and don’t go out with our armies.
[10] You make us turn back from the adversary.
Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
[11] You have made us like sheep for food,
and have scattered us among the nations.
[12] You sell your people for nothing,
and have gained nothing from their sale.
[13] You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
[14] You make us a byword among the nations,
a shaking of the head among the peoples.
[15] All day long my dishonor is before me,
and shame covers my face,
[16] at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses,
because of the enemy and the avenger.
[17] All this has come on us,
yet we haven’t forgotten you.
We haven’t been false to your covenant.
[18] Our heart has not turned back,
neither have our steps strayed from your path,
[19] though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals,
and covered us with the shadow of death.
[20] If we have forgotten the name of our God,
or spread out our hands to a strange god,
[21] won’t God search this out?
For he knows the secrets of the heart.
[22] Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long.
We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
[23] Wake up!
Why do you sleep, Lord?§
Arise!
Don’t reject us forever.
[24] Why do you hide your face,
and forget our affliction and our oppression?
[25] For our soul is bowed down to the dust.
Our body clings to the earth.
[26] Rise up to help us.
Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.
We have heard with our ears, God;our fathers have told us what work you did in their days,
in the days of old.

[1]
To the chief MusicianH5329(PielPtc) for the sonsH1121 of Korah,H7141 Maschil.H4905(HiphPtc)
We have heardH8085(QalPerf) with our ears,H241 O God,H430 our fathersH1 have toldH5608(PielPerf) us, [what] workH6467 thou didstH6466(QalPerf) in their days,H3117 in the timesH3117 of old.H6924 [2] [How] thou didst drive outH3423(HiphPerf) the heathenH1471 with thy hand,H3027 and plantedstH5193(QalImpf) them; [how] thou didst afflictH7489(HiphImpf) the people,H3816 and cast them out.H7971(PielImpf) [3] For they gotH3423 not the landH776 in possessionH3423(QalPerf) by their own sword,H2719 neither did their own armH2220 saveH3467(HiphPerf) them: but thy right hand,H3225 and thine arm,H2220 and the lightH216 of thy countenance,H6440 because thou hadst a favourH7521(QalPerf) unto them. [4] Thou art my King,H4428 O God:H430 commandH6680(PielImpv) deliverancesH3444 for Jacob.H3290 [5] Through thee will we push downH5055(PielImpf) our enemies:H6862 through thy nameH8034 will we tread them underH947(QalImpf) that rise upH6965(QalPtc) against us. [6] For I will not trustH982(QalImpf) in my bow,H7198 neither shall my swordH2719 saveH3467(HiphImpf) me. [7] But thou hast savedH3467(HiphPerf) us from our enemies,H6862 and hast put them to shameH954(HiphPerf) that hatedH8130(PielPtc) us. [8] In GodH430 we boastH1984(PielPerf) all the dayH3117 long, and praiseH3034(HiphImpf) thy nameH8034 for ever.H5769 Selah.H5542 [9] ButH637 thou hast cast off,H2186(QalPerf) and put us to shame;H3637(HiphImpf) and goest not forthH3318(QalImpf) with our armies.H6635 [10] Thou makest us to turnH7725(HiphImpf) backH268 from the enemy:H6862 and they which hateH8130(PielPtc) us spoilH8154(QalPerf) for themselves. [11] Thou hast givenH5414(QalImpf) us like sheepH6629 [appointed] for meat;H3978 and hast scatteredH2219(PielPerf) us among the heathen.H1471 [12] Thou sellestH4376(QalImpf) thy peopleH5971 for nought,H1952 and dost not increaseH7235(PielPerf) [thy wealth] by their price.H4242 [13] Thou makestH7760(QalImpf) us a reproachH2781 to our neighbours,H7934 a scornH3933 and a derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us. [14] Thou makestH7760(QalImpf) us a bywordH4912 among the heathen,H1471 a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the people.H3816 [15] My confusionH3639 [is] continuallyH3117 before me, and the shameH1322 of my faceH6440 hath coveredH3680(PielPerf) me, [16] For the voiceH6963 of him that reproachethH2778(PielPtc) and blasphemeth;H1442(PielPtc) by reasonH6440 of the enemyH341(QalActPtc) and avenger.H5358(HithPtc) [17] All this is comeH935(QalPerf) upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911(QalPerf) thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266(PielPerf) in thy covenant.H1285 [18] Our heartH3820 is not turnedH5472(NiphPerf) back,H268 neither have our stepsH838 declinedH5186(QalImpf) from thy way;H734 [19] Though thou hast sore brokenH1794(PielPerf) us in the placeH4725 of dragons,H8577 and coveredH3680(PielImpf) us with the shadow of death.H6757 [20] If we have forgottenH7911(QalPerf) the nameH8034 of our God,H430 or stretched outH6566(QalImpf) our handsH3709 to a strangeH2114(QalPtc) god;H410 [21] Shall not GodH430 search this out?H2713(QalImpf) for he knowethH3045(QalActPtc) the secretsH8587 of the heart.H3820 [22] Yea, for thy sake are we killedH2026(PualPerf) all the dayH3117 long; we are countedH2803(NiphPerf) as sheepH6629 for the slaughter.H2878 [23] Awake,H5782(QalImpv) why sleepestH3462(QalImpf) thou, O Lord?H136 arise,H6974(HiphImpv) cast [us] not offH2186(QalImpf) for ever.H5331 [24] Wherefore hidestH5641(HiphImpf) thou thy face,H6440 [and] forgettestH7911(QalImpf) our afflictionH6040 and our oppression?H3906 [25] For our soulH5315 is bowed downH7743(QalPerf) to the dust:H6083 our bellyH990 cleavethH1692(QalPerf) unto the earth.H776 [26] AriseH6965(QalImpv) for our help,H5833 and redeemH6299(QalImpv) us for thy mercies’H2617 sake.Byzantine Greek New Testament
