1To victory, learning to the sons of Korah. God, we heard with our ears; our fathers told to us. The work, which thou wroughtest in the days of them; and in the old days.

2Thine hand lost heathen men, and thou plantedest them; thou tormentedest peoples, and castedest them out.

3For the children of Israel wielded the land not by their sword; and the arm of them saved not them. But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the lightening of thy cheer; for thou were pleased in them.

4Thou art thyself, my king, and my God; that sendest healths to Jacob.

5By thee we shall winnow our enemies with [the] horn; and in thy name we shall despise them, that rise against us.

6For I shall not hope in my bow; and my sword shall not save me.

7For thou hast saved us from men tormenting us; and thou hast shamed men hating us.

8We shall be pleased in God all day; and in thy name we shall acknowledge to thee into the world.

9But now thou hast put us aback, and hast shamed us; and thou, Lord, shalt not go out in our virtues.

10Thou hast turned us away behind after our enemies; and they, that hated us, ravished diversely to themselves.

11Thou hast given us as sheep of meats; and among heathen men thou hast scattered us.

12Thou hast sold thy people without price; and multitude there was not in the exchangings of them.

13Thou hast set [or put] us as a shame to our neighbours; mocking and scorn to them that be in our compass.

14Thou hast set [or put] us into like-ness to heathen men; and wagging of the head among peoples.

15All day my shame is against me; and the shame of my face covered me.

16From the voice of [the] despiser, and evil speaker; from the face of the enemy, and [the] pursuer.

17All these things came on us, and we have not forgotten thee; and we did not wickedly in thy testament.

18And our heart went not away behind; and thou hast not bowed away our paths from thy way.

19For thou hast made us low in the place of torment; and the shadow of death covered us.

20If we forgat the name of our God; and if we held forth our hands to an alien God.

21Whether God shall not seek these things? for he knoweth the hid things of heart.

22For why we be slain all day for thee; we be deemed as sheep of slaying.

23Lord, rise up, why sleepest thou? rise up, and put not us away into the end.

24Why turnest thou away thy face? thou forgettest our poverty, and our tribulation.

25For our life is made low in dust; our womb is glued together in the earth.

26Lord, rise up thou, and help us; and again-buy us for thy name.
