1We have heard with our ears, O God,
2Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;
3For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,
4Thou art my King, O God:
5Through thee will we push down our adversaries:
6For I will not trust in my bow,
7But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,
8In God have we made our boast all the day long,
9But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,
10Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;
11Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,
12Thou sellest thy people for nought,
13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,
14Thou makest us a byword among the nations,
15All the day long is my dishonor before me,
16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,
17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
18Our heart is not turned back,
19That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals,
20If we have forgotten the name of our God,
21Will not God search this out?
22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;
23Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face,
25For our soul is bowed down to the dust:
26Rise up for our help,
