< 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.
[For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.] We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, 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.
You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
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 did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
You are my King, my God, who commands victories for Jacob.
5 By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
Through you we will push back our adversaries. Through your name we will trample down those who 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 you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
8 In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
9 Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and do 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.
You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
12 You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
You make us the taunt of our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
16 From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the 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 has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.
18 Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
19 For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, 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 God, or 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.
won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
For your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
Wake up. Why do you sleep, Jehovah? Arise. Do not reject us forever.
24 Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
Why do you hide your face, and forget 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 body cleaves to the earth.
26 Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.
