ב. אֱלֹהִ֚ים | בְּאָזְנֵ֬ינוּ שָׁמַ֗עְנוּ אֲבוֹתֵ֥ינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָ֑נוּ פֹּֽעַל־פָּעַ֥לְתָּ בִֽ֜ימֵיהֶ֗ם בִּ֣ימֵי קֶֽדֶם:

ג. אַתָּ֚ה | יָֽדְךָ֡ גּוֹיִ֣ם ה֖וֹרַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵ֑ם תָּרַ֥ע לְ֜אֻמִּ֗ים וַֽתְּשַׁלְּחֵֽם:

ד. כִּ֚י לֹ֪א בְחַרְבָּ֡ם יָֽרְשׁוּ־אָ֗רֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם֘ לֹֽא־הוֹשִׁ֪יעָה֫ לָּ֥מוֹ כִּי־יְמִֽינְךָ֣ וּ֖זְרֽוֹעֲךָ וְא֥וֹר פָּ֜נֶ֗יךָ כִּ֣י רְצִיתָֽם:

ה. אַתָּה־ה֣וּא מַלְכִּ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים צַ֜וֵּ֗ה יְשׁוּע֥וֹת יַֽעֲקֹֽב:

ו. בְּךָ צָרֵ֣ינוּ נְנַגֵּ֑חַ בְּ֜שִׁמְךָ֗ נָב֥וּס קָמֵֽינוּ:

ז. כִּ֚י לֹ֣א בְקַשְׁתִּ֣י אֶבְטָ֑ח וְ֜חַרְבִּ֗י לֹ֣א תֽוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי:

ח. כִּ֣י הֽ֖וֹשַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵ֑ינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵ֥ינוּ הֱבִישֽׁוֹתָ:

ט. בֵּ֣אלֹהִים הִלַּ֣לְנוּ כָל־הַיּ֑וֹם וְשִׁמְךָ֓ | לְעוֹלָ֖ם נוֹדֶ֣ה סֶֽלָה:

י. אַף־זָ֖נַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵ֑נוּ וְלֹ֥א תֵ֜צֵ֗א בְּצִבְאוֹתֵֽינוּ:

יא. תְּשִׁיבֵ֣נוּ אָ֖חוֹר מִנִּי־צָ֑ר וּ֜מְשַׂנְאֵ֗ינוּ שָׁ֣סוּ לָֽמוֹ:

יב. תִּתְּנֵנוּ כְּצֹ֣אן מַֽאֲכָ֑ל וּ֜בַגּוֹיִ֗ם זֵֽרִיתָֽנוּ:

יג. תִּמְכֹּר־עַמְּךָ֥ בְלֹא־ה֑וֹן וְלֹ֥א רִ֜בִּ֗יתָ בִּמְחִֽירֵיהֶֽם:

יד. תְּשִׂימֵ֣נוּ חֶ֖רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֜קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִֽיבוֹתֵֽינוּ:

טו. תְּשִׂימֵ֣נוּ מָ֖שָׁל בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם מְנ֥וֹד רֹ֜֗אשׁ בַּֽלְאֻמִּֽים:

טז. כָּל־הַ֖יּוֹם כְּלִמָּתִ֣י נֶגְדִּ֑י וּבֹ֖שֶׁת פָּנַ֣י כִּסָּֽתְנִי:

יח. כָּל־זֹ֣את בָּ֖אַתְנוּ וְלֹ֣א שְׁכַֽחֲנ֑וּךָ וְלֹֽא־שִׁ֜קַּ֗רְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶֽךָ:

יט. לֹֽא־נָס֣וֹג אָח֣וֹר לִבֵּ֑נוּ וַתֵּ֥ט אֲשֻׁרֵ֗ינוּ מִנִּ֥י אָרְחֶֽךָ:

כ. כִּ֣י דִ֖כִּיתָנוּ בִּמְק֣וֹם תַּנִּ֑ים וַתְּכַ֖ס עָלֵ֣ינוּ בְצַלְמָֽוֶת:

כא. אִם־שָׁ֖כַחְנוּ שֵׁ֣ם אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וַנִּפְרֹ֥שׂ כַּ֜פֵּ֗ינוּ לְאֵ֣ל זָֽר:

כב. הֲלֹא־אֱלֹהִ֥ים יַֽחֲקָר־זֹ֑את כִּי־ה֥וּא יֹ֜דֵ֗עַ תַּֽעֲלֻמ֥וֹת לֵֽב:

כג. כִּֽי־ עָ֖לֶיךָ הֹרַ֣גְנוּ כָל־הַיּ֑וֹם נֶ֜חְשַׁ֗בְנוּ כְּצֹ֣אן טִבְחָֽה:

כד. ע֚וּרָה | לָ֖מָּה תִישַׁ֥ן | אֲדֹנָ֑י הָ֜קִ֗יצָה אַל־תִּזְנַ֥ח לָנֶֽצַח:

כה. לָ֣מָּה פָנֶ֣יךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח עָנְיֵ֣נוּ וְֽלַֽחֲצֵֽנוּ:

1. For the conductor, of the sons of Korah, a maskil.

2. O God, with our ears we heard, our forefathers told us; You performed a deed in their days, in days of old.

3. You-[with] Your hand You drove out nations and planted them; You inflicted harm on kingdoms and sent them away.

4. For not by their sword did they inherit the land, neither did their arm save them, but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance, for You favored them.

5. You are my King, O God; command the salvations of Jacob.

6. With You, we will gore our adversaries; with Your name, we will trample those who rise up against us.

7. For I do not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.

8. For You saved us from our adversaries and You put our enemies to shame.

9. We praised [ourselves] with God all day long, and we will forever thank Your name, yea forever.

10. Even if You have forsaken us and put us to shame, and You do not go out in our hosts;

11. You make us retreat from the adversary, and our enemies plunder for themselves;

12. You deliver us as sheep to be eaten, and You scatter us among the nations.

13. You sell Your people without gain, and You did not increase their price;

14. You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those around us;

15. You make us a byword among the nations, a [cause for] shaking the head among the kingdoms.

16. All day long, my disgrace is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me.

17. From the voice of the one who taunts and blasphemes, because of an enemy and an avenger.

18. All this has befallen us and we have not forgotten You, neither have we betrayed Your covenant.

19. Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps turned away from Your path

20. -even when You crushed us in a place of serpents, and You covered us with darkness.

21. If we forgot the name of our God and spread out our palms to a strange god,

22. Will God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

23. For it is for Your sake that we are killed all the time, [that] we are considered as sheep for the slaughter.

24. Awaken! Why should You sleep, O Lord? Arouse Yourself, forsake not forever.

25. Why do You hide Your countenance? [Why do] You forget our affliction and oppression?

26. For our soul is cast down to the dust, our belly clings to the earth.

27. Arise to assist us and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness.
