Rise Up, Be Our Help
For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A Maskil.
O God, we have heard with our ears,
Our afathers have recounted to us
The bwork that You did in their days,
In the cdays of old.
2 You with Your own hand adispossessed the nations;
Then You bplanted them;
You cafflicted the peoples,
Then You dcast them out.
3 For by their own sword they adid not possess the land,
And their own arm did not save them,
But Your right hand and Your barm and the clight of Your presence,
For You dfavored them.
4 You are amy King, O God;
bCommand salvation for Jacob.
5 Through You we will apush back our adversaries;
Through Your name we will btread down those who rise up against us.
6 For I will anot trust in my bow,
And my sword will not save me.
7 But You ahave saved us from our adversaries,
And You have bput to shame those who hate us.
8 In God we have aboasted all day long,
And we will bgive thanks to Your name forever. Selah.
