Psalms 44

1 For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of the sons of Korah. God, we have heard with our own ears—our forefathers have told us—all you did in their times, long ago.

To the choirmaster of [the] sons of Korah a poem. O God - with ears our we have heard ancestors our they have recounted to us [the] deed[s] [which] you did in days their in days of antiquity.

2 Through your power you drove out the other nations so you could settle our ancestors there; you defeated the nations and you sent our ancestors to occupy the land.

You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.

3 They did not conquer the land using their swords; it was not through their own strength that the victory was won—it was by your strength, your power, and your presence with them, because you loved them.

For not by sword their they took possession of [the] land and arm their not it saved them for right [hand] your and arm your and [the] light of face your for you took pleasure in them.

4 God, you are my King; command victories for Jacob!

You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.

5 Only through you can we repel our enemies; only in your name can we defeat our opponents.

By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.

6 I do not trust my bow; I do not have confidence in my sword to save me.

For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.

7 You are the one who saves us from our enemies; you defeat those who hate us.

For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.

8 God, we proudly thank you all day long, and praise your name forever. (Selah)

In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)

9 But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you no longer accompany our armies.

Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.

10 You made us run from our enemies, and those who hate us have taken whatever they wanted.

You have made turn back us backwards from [the] opponent and [those who] hate us they have plundered for themselves.

11 You have handed us over like sheep to be slaughtered; you have scattered us among the other nations.

You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.

12 You have sold your own people for next to nothing, making no profit on the sale.

You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.

13 You have made a mockery of us before our neighbors, we are ridiculed and laughed at by those around us.

You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.

14 You have made us a joke to the other nations; they scornfully shake their heads at us.

You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.

15 We are humiliated all day long; we hold our heads in shame,

All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.

16 because of all the insults from the people mocking us, because our vengeful enemies are right in front of us.

From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.

17 All this has happened to us even though we didn't forget you; we haven't been unfaithful to the promises we made to you.

All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.

18 We have not turned away from you, not in thought, nor in action.

Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.

19 Even so, you crushed us, and made us into a jackal's den. You have covered us with the darkness of death.

For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or worshiped other gods,

If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.

21 wouldn't God have been aware of this, because he knows everyone's thoughts?

¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.

22 But because of you we are killed all day long; we're considered just sheep to be slaughtered.

For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.

23 Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don't turn your back on us forever!

Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.

24 Why do you look away from us and take no notice of our suffering and misery?

Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.

25 We lie ruined in the dust, our bodies face down in the dirt.

For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.

26 Stand up! Come and help us! Save us because of your trustworthy love!

Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
