1 OGod, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, the work thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old:
1Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved.
1To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.
2 Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.
2My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king: My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly.
2Thou, <FI>with<Fi> Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.
3 For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
3Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
3For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.
4 Thou thyself art my king, OGod: command deliverance for Jacob.
4Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.
4Thou <FI>art<Fi> He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
5With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
5By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders,
6 For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
6Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king's enemies.
6For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me.
7 For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
7Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
7For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame.
8 InGod will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.
8Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;
9Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which
9In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.
10 Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;
10The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.
10Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
11 Thou hast given us over like sheep [appointed] for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;
11Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father's house.
11Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou hast scattered us.
12 Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price;
12And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
12Thou sellest Thy people--without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;
13And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
14All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders,
14Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
15 All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
15Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
15All the day my confusion <FI>is<Fi> before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.
16 Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
16They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
16Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:
17Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
17All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;
18They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
18We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our step from Thy path.
19 Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
19(not in this translation)
19But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost cover us over with death-shade.
20 If we had forgotten the name of ourGod, and stretched out our hands to a strangegod,
20(not in this translation)
20If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
21 Would notGod search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
21(not in this translation)
21Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
22(not in this translation)
22Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
23(not in this translation)
23Stir up--why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
24(not in this translation)
24Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,
