'Us' in the Bible

Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

They have said, With our tongues will we overcome; our lips are ours: who is lord over us?

Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.

O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.

But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.

Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.

You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.

All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.

Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.

Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.

Up! and come to our help, and give us salvation because of your mercy.

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take them away.

You will give us an answer in righteousness by great acts of power, O God of our salvation; you who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the far-off lands of the sea;

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

May God give us mercy and blessing, and let the light of his face be shining on us; (Selah.)

The earth has given her increase; and God, even our God, will give us his blessing.

God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.

Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.

O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us,

Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?

They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.

We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.

O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

So will we not be turned back from you; keep us in life, and we will give praise to your name.

Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.

Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?

Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?

Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.

How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?

O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.

O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.

He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.

For great is his mercy to us, and his faith is unchanging for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.

The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.

Who kept us in mind when we were in trouble: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

And has taken us out of the hands of our haters: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.

O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.
