Psalms 43 — GMV
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

Verse 22

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,
