< Psalms 44 >

1 God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
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 [They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
3 It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with 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 You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
5 It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
6 I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.
7 No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.
8 We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
9 But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
10 You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
You have made turn back us backwards from [the] opponent and [those who] hate us they have plundered for themselves.
11 You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
12 [It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
13 People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
14 They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
15 All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
16 I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
17 All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.
18 We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
19 But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
20 If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.
21 you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
22 But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
23 [So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
24 Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
25 We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
26 Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
