Chapter 43

1


 

  Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.  

 

 

--

2


 

  We have heard, O God, with our ears : our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them : thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword : neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance : because thou wast pleased with them.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn : and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.  

 

 

--

7


 

  For I will not trust in my bow : neither shall my sword save me.  

 

 

--

8


 

  But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us : and hast put them to shame that hate us.  

 

 

--

9


 

  In God shall we glory all the day long : and in thy name we will give praise for ever.  

 

 

--

10


 

  But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame : and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies : and they that hated us plundered for themselves.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten : thou hast scattered us among the nations.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Thou hast sold thy people for no price : and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles : a shaking of the head among the people.  

 

 

--

16


 

  All the day long my shame is before me : and the confusion of my face hath covered me,  

 

 

--

17


 

  At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me : at the face of the enemy and persecutor.  

 

 

--

18


 

  All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee : and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.  

 

 

--

19


 

  And our heart hath not turned back : neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.  

 

 

--

20


 

  For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction : and the shadow of death hath covered us.  

 

 

--

21


 

  If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god :  

 

 

--

22


 

  Shall not God search out these things : for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long : we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?  

 

 

--

25


 

  For our soul is humbled down to the dust : our belly cleaveth to the earth.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name's sake.
