Psalms 43 — ENGLXXUP

43 Verse 1 For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Korah. ^{Verse 2} O God, we have heard with our ears, ^{Verse 3} Thine hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and thou didst plant them: ^{Verse 4} For they inherited not the land by their own sword, ^{Verse 5} Thou art indeed my King and my God, ^{Verse 6} In thee will we push down our enemies, ^{Verse 7} For I will not trust in my bow, ^{Verse 8} For thou hast saved us from them that afflicted us, ^{Verse 9} In God will we make our boast all the day, ^{Verse 10} But now thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; ^{Verse 11} Thou hast turned us back before our enemies; ^{Verse 12} Thou madest us as sheep for meat; ^{Verse 13} Thou hast sold thy people without price, ^{Verse 14} Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbors, ^{Verse 15} Thou hast made us a proverb among the Gentiles, ^{Verse 16} All the day my shame is before me, ^{Verse 17} Because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; ^{Verse 18} All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten thee, ^{Verse 19} And our heart has not gone back; ^{Verse 20} For thou hast laid us low in a place of affliction, ^{Verse 21} If we have forgotten the name of our God, ^{Verse 22} For he knows the secrets of the heart. ^{Verse 23} For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; ^{Verse 24} Awake, wherefore sleepest thou, O Lord? ^{Verse 25} Wherefore turnest thou thy face away, ^{Verse 26} For our soul has been brought down to the dust; ^{Verse 27} Arise, O Lord, help us,
