Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Catholic Public Domain Bible
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:	¹ Unto the end. For those who will be changed. To the sons of Korah, toward understanding. A Canticle for the Beloved.
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;	² My heart has uttered a good word. I speak of my works to the king. My tongue is like the pen of a scribe who writes quickly.
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.	³ You are a brilliant form before the sons of men. Grace has been poured freely into your lips. Because of this, God has blessed you in eternity.
⁴ Thou art my King and my God, who ordainest victories for Jacob.	⁴ Fasten your sword to your thigh, O most powerful one.
⁵ Through thee we push down our foes; through thy name we tread down our assailants.	⁵ With your splendor and your excellence extended, proceed prosperously, and reign for the sake of truth and meekness and justice, and so will your right hand lead you wondrously.
⁶ For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.	⁶ Your arrows are sharp; the people will fall under you, with the hearts of the enemies of the king.
⁷ But thou hast saved us from our foes, and hast put to confusion those who hate us.	⁷ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of true aim.
⁸ In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]	⁸ You have loved justice and hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you, before your co-heirs, with the oil of gladness.
⁹ Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.	⁹ Myrrh and balsam and cinnamon perfume your garments, from the houses of ivory. From these, they have delighted you:
¹⁰ Thou hast made us turn back from the foe; and our enemies have gotten spoil.	¹⁰ the daughters of kings in your honor. The queen assisted at your right hand, in clothing of gold, encircled with diversity.
¹¹ Thou hast made us like sheep for slaughter, and hast scattered us among the nations.	¹¹ Listen, daughter, and see, and incline your ear. And forget your people and your father’s house.
¹² Thou hast sold thy people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.	¹² And the king will desire your beauty. For he is the Lord your God, and they will adore him.
¹³ Thou hast made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those about us.	¹³ And the daughters of Tyre will entreat your countenance with gifts: all the rich men of the people.
¹⁴ Thou hast made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.	¹⁴ All the glory of the daughter of its king is inside, in golden fringes,
¹⁵ All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,	¹⁵ clothed all around with diversities. After her, virgins will be led to the king. Her neighbors will be brought to you.
¹⁶ at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.	¹⁶ They will be brought with gladness and exultation. They will be led into the temple of the king.
¹⁷ All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten thee, or been false to thy covenant.	¹⁷ For your fathers, sons have been born to you. You will establish them as leaders over all the earth.
¹⁸ Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from thy way,	¹⁸ They will remember your name always, for generation after generation. Because of this, people will confess to you in eternity, even forever and ever.
¹⁹ that thou shouldst have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness.
²⁰ If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god,
²¹ would not God discover this? For he 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 Rouse thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever!
²⁴ Why dost thou hide thy face? Why dost thou forget our affliction and oppression?
²⁵ For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the ground.
²⁶ Rise up, come to our help! Deliver us for the sake of thy steadfast love!
