Psalms
44
:
1
{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:
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
2
Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
3
For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
4
Thou thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
5
Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
6
For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
7
For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
8
In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
9
But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
10
Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
11
Thou hast given us over like sheep appointed for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
12
Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price;
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
13
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
14
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
15
All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
16
Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
17
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
18
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
19
Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
20
If we had forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a strange ùgod,
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
21
Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
22
But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
23
Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
25
For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
(DB)
Psalms
44
:
26
Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.
