For the
Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Psalm 44:1 |
|
We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers
have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:2 |
|
Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;
But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst
spread abroad. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:3 |
|
For they gat not the land in possession by their
own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine
arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.
|
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:4 |
|
Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance
for Jacob. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:5 |
|
Through thee will we push down our adversaries:
Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:6 |
|
For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall
my sword save me. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:7 |
|
But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,
And hast put them to shame that hate us. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:8 |
|
In God have we made our boast all the day long,
And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:9 |
|
But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us
to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:10 |
|
Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;
And they that hate us take spoil for themselves. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:11 |
|
Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,
And hast scattered us among the nations. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:12 |
|
Thou sellest thy people for nought, And hast
not increased thy wealth by their price. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:13 |
|
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:14 |
|
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A
shaking of the head among the peoples. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:15 |
|
All the day long is my dishonor before me, And
the shame of my face hath covered me, |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:16 |
|
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,
By reason of the enemy and the avenger. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:17 |
|
All this is come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten
thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:18 |
|
Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our
steps declined from thy way, |
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:19 |
|
That thou hast sore broken us in the place of
jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:20 |
|
If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or
spread forth our hands to a strange god; |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 44:21 |
|
Will not God search this out? For he knoweth
the secrets of the heart. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:22 |
|
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day
long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:23 |
|
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast
us not off for ever. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:24 |
|
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest
our affliction and our oppression? |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:25 |
|
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our
body cleaveth unto the earth. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 44:26 |
|
Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy
lovingkindness' sake. |
