1. Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, toward understanding.
2. We have heard, O God, with our own ears. Our fathers have announced to us the work that you wrought in their days and in the days of antiquity.
3. Your hand dispersed the Gentiles, and you transplanted them. You afflicted a people, and you expelled them.
4. For they did not take possession of the land by their sword, and their own arm did not save them. But your right hand and your arm, and the light of your countenance did so, because you were pleased with them.
5. You yourself are my king and my God, who commands the salvation of Jacob.
6. With you, we will brandish a horn before our enemies; and in your name, we will spurn those rising up against us.
7. For I will not hope in my bow, and my sword will not save me.
8. For you have saved us from those who afflict us, and you have bewildered those who hate us.
9. In God, we will give praise all day long; and in your name, we will confess forever.
10. But now, you have rejected and bewildered us, and you will not go forth with our armies, O God.
11. You have turned our back to our enemies, and those who hated us have plundered for themselves.
