2(44-3) Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
3(44-4) For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
4(44-5) Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
5(44-6) Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
6(44-7) For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
7(44-8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
8(44-9) In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
9(44-10) Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
10(44-11) Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
11(44-12) Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
12(44-13) Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
13(44-14) Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14(44-15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15(44-16) All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16(44-17) For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
17(44-18) All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
18(44-19) Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
19(44-20) Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20(44-21) If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
21(44-22) Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22(44-23) Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
23(44-24) Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.
24(44-25) Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
