Psalms 44

1 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.

Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding. We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.

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

Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

3 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.

For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.

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

Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.

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

Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

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

For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.

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

But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.

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

In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

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

But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

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

Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

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

Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.

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

Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

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

Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

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

Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

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

All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,

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

At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

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

All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.

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

And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

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

For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.

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

If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

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

Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

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

Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

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

Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.

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

Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?

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

For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.

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

Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
