|
<p>O God, we have heard, and our fathers have told<br>
|
|
What wonders Thou didst in the great days of old;<br>
|
|
The nations were crushed and expelled by Thy hand,<br>
|
|
Cast out that Thy people might dwell in their land.</p>
|
|
<p>They gained not the land by the edge of the sword,<br>
|
|
Their own arm to them could no safety afford,<br>
|
|
But Thy right hand saved, and the light of Thy face,<br>
|
|
Because of Thy favor and wonderful grace.</p>
|
|
<p>Command, and Thy word shall deliverance bring,<br>
|
|
O God, to Thy chosen, for Thou art our King;<br>
|
|
Through Thee we will surely defeat all our foes,<br>
|
|
Through Thy Name will triumph o’er those that oppose.</p>
|
|
<p>No trust will I place in my strength to defend.<br>
|
|
Nor yet on my sword as a safeguard depend;<br>
|
|
In Thee, Who hast saved us and put them to shame,<br>
|
|
We boast all the day, ever praising Thy Name.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou, Lord, hast forsaken, to shame brought our boasts;<br>
|
|
No more to the field dost Thou go with our hosts;<br>
|
|
Thou turnest us back from the foe in dismay,<br>
|
|
And spoilers who hate us have made us their prey.</p>
|
|
<p>Like sheep to the slaughter Thy people are given,<br>
|
|
Dispersed through the nations, afar we are driven;<br>
|
|
Thou sellest Thy people to strangers for naught,<br>
|
|
Their price to Thy treasure no increase has brought.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou makest our neighbors reproach us in pride,<br>
|
|
And those that are near us to scoff and deride;<br>
|
|
A byword the nations have made of our name,<br>
|
|
With scorn and derision they put us to shame.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, all the day long I behold my disgrace,<br>
|
|
And covered am I with confusion of face;<br>
|
|
The voice of blasphemers and scoffers I hear,<br>
|
|
The foe and avenger against me appear.</p>
|
|
<p>All this have we suffered, and never forgot<br>
|
|
To serve Thee, Jehovah, nor falsely have wrought;<br>
|
|
Our heart is not turned, and our steps have not strayed,<br>
|
|
Though crushed amid ruins and under death’s shade.</p>
