Psalms 44
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
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 Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
3 For they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour 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 Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
5 Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
6 For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.
7 But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.
8 Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. (Selah)
In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
9 But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
10 Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
You have made turn back us backwards from [the] opponent and [those who] hate us they have plundered for themselves.
11 Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
12 Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
13 Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
14 Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
15 My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
16 For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
17 All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.
18 Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
19 Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
20 If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.
21 Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
22 Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
23 Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
25 For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
26 Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
