1 To the choirmaster of [the] sons of Korah a poem. O God - with ears our we have heard ancestors our they have recounted to us [the] deed[s] [which] you did in days their in days of antiquity.

TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work You worked 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.

You, [with] Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.

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 they did not possess the land by their sword, And their arm did not give salvation to them, But Your right hand, and Your arm, And the light of Your countenance, Because You had accepted them.

4 You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.

You [are] He, my King, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.

5 By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.

By You we push our adversaries, By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,

6 For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.

For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.

7 For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.

For You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those hating us.

8 In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)

In God we have boasted all the day, And we thank Your Name for all time. (Selah)

9 Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.

In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, And do not go forth with our hosts.

10 You have made turn back us backwards from [the] opponent and [those who] hate us they have plundered for themselves.

You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.

11 You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.

You make us food like sheep, And You have scattered us among nations.

12 You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.

You sell Your people—without wealth, And have not become great by their price.

13 You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.

14 You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.

You make us an allegory among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.

15 All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.

All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face has covered me.

16 From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.

Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.

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 met us, and we did not forget You, Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.

18 Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.

We do not turn our heart backward, Nor turn aside our step 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 struck us in a place of dragons, And cover us over with death-shade.

20 If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.

If we have forgotten the Name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,

21 ¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.

Does God not search this out? For 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.

Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.

23 Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.

Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.

24 Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.

Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,

25 For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.

For our soul has bowed to the dust, Our belly has cleaved to the earth.

26 Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.

Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
