- 1. ¶ WE have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us what work thou hast wrought in their days, in the times of old;
- 2. How thou didst destroy the Gentiles with thy hand, and established thy people; how thou didst vex the kingdoms, and strengthened thy people.
- 3. For they inherited not the land by their sword, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand and thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou wast pleased with them.
- 4. Thou art my King, O God; for thou commandest deliverances for Jacob.
- 5. Through thee will we pierce our enemies; through thy name will we tread them under that hate us.
- 6. For we trust not in our bows; neither on our armour to save us.
- 7. But thou hast saved us from those who hate us, and hast put to shame our enemies.
- 8. We glorify thee, O God, all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.
- 9. ¶ But now thou hast forsaken us and put us to shame, and goest not forth with our armies:
- 10. But thou makest us to be defeated; and our enemies have plundered us.
- 11. Thou hast sold us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the Gentiles.
- 12. Thou hast sold thy people as a bargain, and dost not profit by their exchange.
- 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 Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations.
- 15. All the day long my disgrace is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
- 16. Because of the voice of him who reproaches and blasphemes; and because of the enemy that avenges.
- 17. ¶ All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
- 18. We have not turned back, neither have we swerved our steps from thy way;
- 19. For thou hast humbled us a second time in the land, and covered us with the shadow of death.
- 20. And yet we have not forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to stranger gods;
- 21. God will look into this thing, for he knows the secrets of the heart.
- 22. Yea, for thy sake are we killed every day; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
- 23. Awake and sleep not, O LORD; remember us and forsake us not.
- 24. Turn not thy face from us, and forget not our humiliation and our oppression;
- 25. For our soul is humbled down to the dust; our body touches the earth.
- 26. Arise to help us; redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
