1 to/for to conduct to/for son: descendant/people Korah Maskil God in/on/with ear our to hear: hear father our to recount to/for us work to work in/on/with day their in/on/with day front: old
God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
2 you(m. s.) hand your nation to possess: take and to plant them be evil people and to send: let go them
[They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
3 for not in/on/with sword their to possess: take land: country/planet and arm their not to save to/for them for right your and arm your and light face your for to accept them
It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
4 you(m. s.) he/she/it king my God to command salvation Jacob
You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
5 in/on/with you enemy our to gore in/on/with name your to trample to arise: rise us
It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
6 for not in/on/with bow my to trust and sword my not to save me
I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
7 for to save us from enemy our and to hate us be ashamed
No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
8 in/on/with God to boast: boast all [the] day: always and name your to/for forever: enduring to give thanks (Selah)
We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
9 also to reject and be humiliated us and not to come out: come in/on/with army our
But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
10 to return: return us back from enemy and to hate us to plunder to/for them
You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
11 to give: make us like/as flock food and in/on/with nation to scatter us
You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
12 to sell people your in/on/with not substance and not to multiply in/on/with price their
[It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
13 to set: make us reproach to/for neighboring our derision and derision to/for around us
People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
14 to set: make us proverb in/on/with nation shaking head not people
They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
15 all [the] day shame my before me and shame face my to cover me
All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
16 from voice: sound to taunt and to blaspheme from face enemy and to avenge
I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
17 all this to come (in): come us and not to forget you and not to deal in/on/with covenant your
All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
18 not to turn back heart our and to stretch step our from way your
We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
19 for to crush us in/on/with place jackal and to cover upon us in/on/with shadow
But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
20 if to forget name God our and to spread palm our to/for god be a stranger
If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
21 not God to search this for he/she/it to know secret heart
you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
22 for upon you to kill all [the] day to devise: count like/as flock slaughtered
But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.

[So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!

Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?

We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.

Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
