For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
2 You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
3 For not by sword their they took possession of [the] land and arm their not it saved them for right [hand] your and arm your and [the] light of face your for you took pleasure in them.
For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
4 You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.

For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
7 For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.
For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
8 In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.

You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
11 You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
12 You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15 All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
16 From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
17 All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.
All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
18 Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
19 For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
20 If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.
If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 ¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
22 For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
24 Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
25 For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
26 Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
