7For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.

stylus

8But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.

stylus

9In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

stylus

10But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou , O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

stylus

11Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

stylus

12Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.

stylus

13Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

stylus

14Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

stylus

15Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

stylus

16All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,

stylus

17At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

stylus

18All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

stylus

19And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

stylus

20For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.

stylus

21If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

stylus

22Shall 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.

stylus

23Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.

stylus

24Why turnest thou thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?

stylus

25For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.

stylus

26Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name's sake.
