42.8
PSALMS
- 9By day the Lord will command His lovingkindness,
- And in the night His song shall be with me,
- Even a prayer unto the God of my life.
- 10I will say unto God my Rock: 'Why hast Thou forgotten me?
- Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?'
- 11As with a crushing in my bones, mine adversaries taunt me;
- While they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'
- 12Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
- And why moanest thou within me?
- Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him,
- The salvation of my countenance, and my God.
- 43 Be Thou my judge, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
- O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
- 2For Thou art the God of my strength; why hast Thou cast me off?
- Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
- 3O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me;
- Let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places;
- 4Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God, my exceeding joy;
- And praise Thee upon the harp, O God, my God.
- 5Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
- And why moanest thou within me?
- Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him,
- The salvation of my countenance, and my God.
44 For the Leader; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil.
- 2O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us;
- A work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
- 3Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in;
- Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
- 4For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession,
- Neither did their own arm save them;
- But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance,
- Because Thou wast favourable unto them.
- 5Thou art my King, O God;
- Command the salvation of Jacob.
- 6Through Thee do we push down our adversaries;
- Through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
- 7For I trust not in my bow,
- Neither can my sword save me.
- 8But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries,
- And hast put them to shame that hate us.
- 9In God have we gloried all the day,
- And we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
- 10Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion;
- And goest not forth with our hosts.
- 11Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;
- And they that hate us spoil at their will.
- 12Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten;
