43:1 In finem. Filiis Core ad intellectum.

43:1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.

43:2 Deus, auribus nostris audivimus, patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis, opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum, et in diebus antiquis.

43:2 We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.

43:3 Manus tua gentes disperdidit, et plantasti eos ; afflixisti populos, et expulisti eos.

43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

43:4 Nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram, et brachium eorum non salvavit eos : sed dextera tua et brachium tuum, et illuminatio vultus tui, quoniam complacuisti in eis.

43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.

43:5 Tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus, qui mandas salutes Jacob.

43:5 Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.

43:6 In te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu, et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis.

43:6 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

43:7 Non enim in arcu meo sperabo, et gladius meus non salvabit me :

43:7 For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.

43:8 salvasti enim nos de affligentibus nos, et odientes nos confudisti.

43:8 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.

43:9 In Deo laudabimur tota die, et in nomine tuo confitebimur in sæculum.

43:9 In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

43:10 Nunc autem repulisti et confudisti nos, et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris.

43:10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou , O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

43:11 Avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros, et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi.

43:11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

43:12 Dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum, et in gentibus dispersisti nos.

43:12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.

43:13 Vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio, et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus eorum.

43:13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

43:14 Posuisti nos opprobrium vicinis nostris ; subsannationem et derisum his qui sunt in circuitu nostro.

43:14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

43:15 Posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus ; commotionem capitis in populis.

43:15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

43:16 Tota die verecundia mea contra me est, et confusio faciei meæ cooperuit me :

43:16 All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,

43:17 a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis, a facie inimici et persequentis.

43:17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

43:18 Hæc omnia venerunt super nos ; nec obliti sumus te, et inique non egimus in testamento tuo.

43:18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

43:19 Et non recessit retro cor nostrum ; et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua :

43:19 And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

43:20 quoniam humiliasti nos in loco afflictionis, et cooperuit nos umbra mortis.

43:20 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.

43:21 Si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri, et si expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum,

43:21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

43:22 nonne Deus requiret ista ? ipse enim novit abscondita cordis. Quoniam propter te mortificamur tota die ; æstimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.

43:22 Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

43:23 Exsurge ; quare obdormis, Domine ? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem.

43:23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.

43:24 Quare faciem tuam avertis ? oblivisceris inopiæ nostræ et tribulationis nostræ ?

43:24 Why turnest thou thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?

43:25 Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra ; conglutinatus est in terra venter noster.

43:25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.

43:26 Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos, et redime nos propter nomen tuum.

43:26 Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name's sake.
