< 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.
We have heard with our ears, O Elohim, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how 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 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 hadst a favour unto them.
4 You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
Thou art my King, O Elohim: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under 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 our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
In Elohim we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. (Selah)
9 Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth 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 makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12 You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13 You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a 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 makest us a byword among the heathen, 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.
My confusion is continually before me, and the shame 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.
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
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 Elohim, or stretched out our hands to a strange el;
21 ¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
Shall not Elohim search this out? 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.
Yea, for thy sake are we 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.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O YHWH? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
