'Us' in the Bible

Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.

Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak them, they are more than can be numbered.

{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction.} O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, the work thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old:

Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;

Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;

Thou hast given us over like sheep appointed for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;

Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:

Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

{To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

Wilt not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm: a Song.} God be gracious unto us, and bless us, and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah,

The earth will yield her increase; God, our God, will bless us:

God will bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;

They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land.

We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us:

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us.

Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

Restore us, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.

Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.

Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.

So teach us to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.

Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.

And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.

Come, let us sing aloud to Jehovah, let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation;

Let us come before his face with thanksgiving; let us shout aloud unto him with psalms.

Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Save us, Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Wilt not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

For his loving-kindness is great toward us, and the truth of Jehovah endureth for ever. Hallelujah!

Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are directed to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us oh let Israel say --

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

Jehovah hath done great things for us; and we are joyful.

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

Who hath remembered us in our low estate, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

And hath delivered us from our oppressors, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.
