1(44) For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which you wrought in their days, in the days of old.
1Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and you did plant them: you did afflict the nations, and cast them out.
2For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you were well pleased in them.
3Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
4You are indeed my King and my God, who command deliverances for Jacob.
4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5In you will we push down our enemies, and in your name will we bring to nothing them that rise up against us.
5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
