New American Bible	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.	¹ To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds thou didst perform in their days, in the days of old:
² O God, we have heard with our own ears; our ancestors have told us The deeds you did in their days, with your own hand in days of old:	² thou with thy own hand didst drive out the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them thou didst set free;
³ You rooted out nations to plant them, crushed peoples to make room for them.	³ for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm give them victory; but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance; for thou didst delight in them.
⁴ Not with their own swords did they conquer the land, nor did their own arms bring victory; It was your right hand, your own arm, the light of your face for you favored them.	⁴ Thou art my King and my God, who ordainest victories for Jacob.
⁵ You are my king and my God, who bestows victories on Jacob.	⁵ Through thee we push down our foes; through thy name we tread down our assailants.
⁶ Through you we batter our foes; through your name, trample our adversaries.	⁶ For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.
⁷ Not in my bow do I trust, nor does my sword bring me victory.	⁷ But thou hast saved us from our foes, and hast put to confusion those who hate us.
⁸ You have brought us victory over our enemies, shamed those who hate us.	⁸ In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]
⁹ In God we have boasted all the day long; your name we will praise forever. Selah	⁹ Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.
¹⁰ But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you do not march out with our armies.	¹⁰ Thou hast made us turn back from the foe; and our enemies have gotten spoil.
¹¹ You make us retreat before the foe; those who hate us plunder us at will.	¹¹ Thou hast made us like sheep for slaughter, and hast scattered us among the nations.
¹² You hand us over like sheep to be slaughtered, scatter us among the nations.	¹² Thou hast sold thy people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.
¹³ You sell your people for nothing; you make no profit from their sale.	¹³ Thou hast made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those about us.
¹⁴ You make us the reproach of our neighbors, the mockery and scorn of those around us.	¹⁴ Thou hast made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
¹⁵ You make us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.	¹⁵ All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
¹⁶ All day long my disgrace is before me; shame has covered my face	¹⁶ at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.
¹⁷ At the sound of those who taunt and revile, at the sight of the spiteful enemy.	¹⁷ All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten thee, or been false to thy covenant.
¹⁸ All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, nor been disloyal to your covenant.	¹⁸ Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from thy way,
¹⁹ Our hearts have not turned back, nor have our steps strayed from your path.	¹⁹ that thou shouldst have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness.
²⁰ Yet you have left us crushed, desolate in a place of jackals; you have covered us with darkness.	²⁰ If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god,
²¹ If we had forgotten the name of our God, stretched out our hands to another god,	²¹ would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
²² Would not God have discovered this, God who knows the secrets of the heart?	²² Nay, for thy sake we are slain all the day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
²³ For you we are slain all the day long, considered only as sheep to be slaughtered.	²³ Rouse thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever!
²⁴ Awake! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Rise up! Do not reject us forever!	²⁴ Why dost thou hide thy face? Why dost thou forget our affliction and oppression?
²⁵ Why do you hide your face; why forget our pain and misery?	²⁵ For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the ground.
²⁶ We are bowed down to the ground; our bodies are pressed to the earth.	²⁶ Rise up, come to our help! Deliver us for the sake of thy steadfast love!
²⁷ Rise up, help us! Redeem us as your love demands.
