Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. God, we have heard with our ears what our fathers declared to us, the deeds you performed in their days, in days of old.
2. You drove out nations with your hand and planted them; you afflicted peoples and spread them abroad.
3. For not by their sword did they possess the land, nor did their arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you favored them.
4. You yourself are my king, God; command deliverances for Jacob.
5. Through you we overthrow our adversaries; through your name we trample those who rise against us.
6. For I will not trust in my bow, nor will my sword save me.
7. But you have rescued us from our adversaries and disgraced our enemies.
8. In God we boast all day, and we will praise your name forever. Selah.
9. Yet you have spurned us and disgraced us, and do not go out with our armies.
10. You turn us back from the adversary, and those who hate us plunder for themselves.
11. You have appointed us like sheep for meat and have dispersed us among the nations.
12. You sell your people for no riches, and do not profit from their price.
13. You make us a reproach to our neighbors, scorn and derision to those around us.
14. You appoint us a byword among the nations, a headshake among the peoples.
15. My disgrace is before me all day, and my face is covered with shame.
16. From the voice of the taunter and reviler, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17. All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you nor dealt deceitfully with your covenant.
18. Our heart has not turned backward, nor have our steps turned aside from your path.
19. Though you have crushed us in the jackals' haunt and covered us with death's shadow.
20. If we have forgotten our God’s name or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21. Wouldn't God investigate this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22. Yet on account of you we are slain all day; we are reckoned as sheep to be slaughtered.
23. Wake up, Lord—why do you sleep? Arise; do not abandon us forever.
24. Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and our distress?
25. For our soul is humbled to the dust; our belly clings to the earth.
26. Arise to help us and redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love.
