Psalm 43 📜 📕 ↷
Send Out Your Light
1 UNTO the end, for the sons of Core to understanding.📜💬📚
2 O God we have heard with our ears: our fathers have declared to us. The work that thou hast wrought in their days: & in the days of old.📜💬📚
3 Thy hand destroyed the nations, and thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict the peoples, and expel them.📜💬📚
4 For not by their own sword did they possess the land, and their own arm did not save them: But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the illumination of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased in them.📜💬📚
5 Thou art the same my King and my God: which commandest the salvations of Jacob.📜💬📚
6 In thee we shall turn out our enemies with the horn, & in thy name we shall contemn them that rise up against us.📜💬📚
7 For I will not hope in my bow: and my sword will not save me.📜💬📚
8 For thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and them that hate us thou hast confounded.📜💬📚
9 In God we shall be praised all the day: and in thy name we will confess for ever.📜💬📚
10 But now thou hast repelled and confounded us: and thou wilt not go forth, o God, in our hosts.📜💬📚
11 Thou hast turned us back behind our enemies: and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.📜💬📚
12 Thou hast given us as sheep that are to be eaten: and thou hast dispersed us among the nations.📜💬📚
13 Thou hast sold thy people without price: and there was no multitude in the exchanges of them.📜💬📚
14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and mocking stock to them that are round about us.📜💬📚
15 Thou hast made us for a parable to the Gentiles: a wagging of the head among the peoples.📜💬📚
16 All the day my shame is against me, and the confusion of my face hath covered me.📜💬📚
17 At the voice of the upbraider, and the reproacher: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.📜💬📚
18 All these things have come upon us, neither have we forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy testament.📜💬📚
19 And our heart hath not revolted backward: & thou hast declined our paths from thy way.📜💬📚
20 Because thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction, and the shadow of death hath covered us.📜💬📚
21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god,📜💬📚
22 Will not God enquire of these things? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thee we are killed all the day: we are esteemed as sheep of slaughter.📜💬📚
23 Arise, why sleepest thou, o Lord? Arise, and expel us not to the end.📜💬📚
24 Why dost thou turn away thy face, forgettest our poverty and our tribulation?📜💬📚
25 Because our soul is humbled in the dust: our belly is glued in the earth.📜💬📚
26 Arise Lord, help us: and redeem us for thy name.📜💬📚
