O Lord, they crush your people; they oppress the nation that belongs to you.

Certainly the Lord does not forsake his people; he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him.

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
