Psalms 44
1 `To victorie, lernyng to the sones of Chore. God, we herden with oure eeris; oure fadris telden to vs. The werk, which thou wrouytist in the daies of hem; and in elde daies.
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 Thin hond lost hethene men, and thou plauntidist hem; thou turmentidist puplis, and castidist hem out.
You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
3 For the children of Israel weldiden the lond not bi her swerd; and the arm of hem sauyde not hem. But thi riyt hond, and thin arm, and the liytnyng of thi cheer; for thou were plesid in hem.
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 Thou art thi silf, my kyng and my God; that sendist helthis to Jacob.
You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
5 Bi thee we schulen wyndewe oure enemyes with horn; and in thi name we schulen dispise hem, that risen ayen vs.
By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
6 For Y schal not hope in my bouwe; and my swerd schal not saue me.
For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.
7 For thou hast saued vs fro men turmentinge vs; and thou hast schent men hatinge vs.
For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.
8 We schulen be preisid in God al dai; and in thi name we schulen knouleche to thee in to the world.
In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
9 But now thou hast put vs abac, and hast schent vs; and thou, God, schalt not go out in oure vertues.
Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
10 Thou hast turned vs awei bihynde aftir oure enemyes; and thei, that hatiden vs, rauyschiden dyuerseli to hem silf.
You have made turn back us backwards from [the] opponent and [those who] hate us they have plundered for themselves.
11 Thou hast youe vs as scheep of meetis; and among hethene men thou hast scaterid vs.
You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
12 Thou hast seeld thi puple with out prijs; and multitude was not in the chaungyngis of hem.
You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
13 Thou hast set vs schenschip to oure neiyboris; mouwyng and scorn to hem that ben in oure cumpas.
You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
14 Thou hast set vs into licnesse to hethene me; stiryng of heed among puplis.
You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
15 Al dai my schame is ayens me; and the schenschipe of my face hilide me.
All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
16 Fro the vois of dispisere, and yuele spekere; fro the face of enemy, and pursuere.
From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
17 Alle these thingis camen on vs, and we han not foryete thee; and we diden not wickidli in thi testament.
All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.
18 And oure herte yede not awei bihynde; and thou hast bowid awei oure pathis fro thi weie.
Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
19 For thou hast maad vs lowe in the place of turment; and the schadewe of deth hilide vs.
For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
20 If we foryaten the name of oure God; and if we helden forth oure hondis to an alien God.
If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.
21 Whether God schal not seke these thingis? for he knowith the hid thingis of herte.
¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
22 For whi we ben slayn al dai for thee; we ben demed as scheep of sleyng.
For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
23 Lord, rise vp, whi slepist thou? rise vp, and putte not awei in to the ende.
Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
24 Whi turnest thou awei thi face? thou foryetist oure pouert, and oure tribulacioun.
Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
25 For oure lijf is maad low in dust; oure wombe is glued togidere in the erthe.
For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
26 Lord, rise vp thou, and helpe vs; and ayenbie vs for thi name.
Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
