1 We have heard with our ears, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], our fathers have told us, [what] work youi did in their days, in the times of old.

2 [How] youi did drive out the heathen with youri hand, and planted them; [how] youi did afflict the people, and cast them out.

3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but youri right hand, and youri arm, and the light of youri Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor), because youi had a favour unto them.

4 youi are my King, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: command deliverances for Ya’akov [Heel of God].

5 Through youi will we push down our enemies: through youri name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

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

7 But youi have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.

8 In God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] we boast all the day long, and praise youri name forever. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].

9 But youi have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.

10 youi make us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil (plunder; prey; booty) for themselves.

11 youi have given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and have scattered us among the heathen.

12 youi sell youri people for nothing (bad; vain), and do not increase [youri wealth] by their price.

13 youi make us a reproach (disgrace; shame) to our neighbours, a scorn and a ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats) to them that are round about us.

14 youi make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,

16 For the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten youi, neither have we dealt falsely in youri covenant.

18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from youri way;

19 Though youi have sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

21 Shall not God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.

22 Yea, for youri sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

23 Awake, why sleep youi, O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things]? arise, cast [us] not off forever.

24 For what reason hide youi youri face, [and] forget our affliction and our oppression?

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaves unto the earth.

26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for youri mercies’ sake.
