Bible Text  (Scroll to Verse)  [Copy]

1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work you did in their days, in the times of old.
2 [How] you drove out the heathen with your hand, and planted them; [how] you afflicted the people, and cast them out.
3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you did a favor for them.
4 You are my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through you we will push down our enemies: through your name we will tread under those that rise up against us.
 - VICTORY
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put to shame those that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise your name for ever. Selah.
 - BOASTING IN THE LORD
9 But you have cast off, and put us to shame; and do not go forth with our armies.
10 You make us to turn back from the enemy: and those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 You have given us like sheep [appointed] for food; and have scattered us among the heathen.
 - WAY OF HEALTH
12 You sell your people for nothing, and do not increase [your wealth] by their price.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.
14 You make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
16 Through the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; because of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this has come upon us; yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;
19 Though you have painfully broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Will not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yes, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why do you sleep, O Lord? arise, do not cast [us] off for ever.
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 belly sticks to the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies' sake.
