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 leader. Of the Korahites. A maskil. O God, we have heard with our ears, all our ancestors have told us of the work that you wrought in their day, your wonders in days of old,
2 You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
uprooting and crushing the nations, then planting and settling them. For it wasn’t their own sword that won them the land,
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.
it was not their own arm that brought them the victory. Yours was the hand and the arm, yours was the face that shone on them with favor.
4 You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
It was you, my king and my God, that ordained the victories of Jacob.
5 By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
Through you we can thrust back our foes, and by your name tread down our assailants:
6 For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.
for not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword win me the victory.
7 For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.
Our victory comes from you, and confusion to 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 boast all the day long, and your name will we praise forever. (Selah)
9 Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
Yet you have spurned and disgraced us, in not going 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.
and in making us flee from the foe, so that those who hated us plundered us.
11 You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
You have let us be eaten like sheep, you have scattered us over the world,
12 You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
sold your people for a pittance, and getting no gain from their price.
13 You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
You have made us the butt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of all round us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
O’er the world you have made us a byword, the nations at us shake their heads.
15 All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
My disgrace is forever before me, my face is covered with shame,
16 From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
at the words of blasphemer and scoffer, at the sight of the foe and the vengeful.
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 upon us, yet we have not forgotten you nor falsely dealt with 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, nor our steps declined from your way,
19 For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
that you thus should have crushed us down, and covered us over with gloom, in the place where the jackals roam.
20 If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.
Had we forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a god that was strange,
21 ¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
would God not have searched this out? For he knows the heart and its secrets.
22 For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
But in your cause it is we are killed all the day, and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
Rouse yourself, why do you sleep Lord? Awake, cast us not off forever.
24 Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
Why do you hide your face, forgetting our stress and our misery?
25 For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
For we have sunk down to the dust, our bodies cling to the ground.
26 Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
Arise, come to our help: for your love’s sake, ransom us.
