7: 1 - 10 (translated by R.B. Wright, 1985)
Do not move away from us, O God, lest those who hate us without cause should attack us.
For You have rejected them, O God; do not let their feet trample Your holy inheritance.
Discipline us as You wish, but do not turn (us) over to the gentiles.
For if You sent death (himself)
You would give him (special) instructions about us.
For You are kind,
and will not be angry enough to destroy us.
While Your name lives among us, we shall receive mercy
and the gentile will not overcome us.
For You are our protection,
and we will call to You, and You will hear us.
For You will have compassion on the people Israel forever
and You will not reject (them);
And we are under Your yoke forever,
and (under) the whip of Your discipline.
You will direct us in the time of Your support, showing mercy to the house of Jacob on the day
when You promised (it) to them.
