Psalm 44:1{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard8085 with our ears,241 O God,430 our fathers1 have told5608 us, what work6467 thou didst6466 in their days,3117 in the times3117 of old.69242How thou didst drive out3423 the heathen1471 with thy hand,3027 and plantedst5193 them; how thou didst afflict7489 the people,3816 and cast them out.79713 For they got34232794 not the land776 in possession3423 by their own sword,2719 neither did their own arm2220 save3467 them: but thy right hand,3225 and thine arm,2220 and the light216 of thy countenance,6440 because thou hadst a favour7521 unto them.
4 Thou art my King,4428 O God:430 command6680 deliverances3444 for Jacob.32905 Through thee will we push down5055 our enemies:6862 through thy name8034 will we tread them under947 that rise up6965 against us.
6 For I will not trust982 in my bow,7198 neither shall my sword2719 save3467 me.
7 But thou hast saved3467 us from our enemies,6862 and hast put them to shame954 that hated8130 us.
8 In God430 we boast1984 all the day3117 long, and praise3034 thy name8034 for ever.5769 Selah.5542
Psalm 44:9 But637 thou hast cast off,2186 and put us to shame;3637 and goest not forth3318 with our armies.663510 Thou makest us to turn7725 back268 from the enemy:6862 and they which hate8130 us spoil8154 for themselves.
11 Thou hast given5414 us like sheep6629appointed for meat;3978{Heb. as sheep of meat} and hast scattered2219 us among the heathen.147112 Thou sellest4376 thy people5971 for nought,1952{Heb. without riches} and dost not increase7235thywealth by their price.424213 Thou makest7760 us a reproach2781 to our neighbours,7934 a scorn3933 and a derision7047 to them that are round about5439 us.
14 Thou makest7760 us a byword4912 among the heathen,1471 a shaking4493 of the head7218 among the people.381615 My confusion3639is continually3117 before me, and the shame1322 of my face6440 hath covered3680 me,
16 For the voice6963 of him that reproacheth2778 and blasphemeth;1442 by reason6440 of the enemy341 and avenger.5358
Psalm 44:17 All this is come935 upon us; yet have we not forgotten7911 thee, neither have we dealt falsely8266 in thy covenant.128518 Our heart3820 is not turned5472 back,268 neither have our steps838{Or, goings} declined5186 from thy way;73419 Though thou hast sore broken1794 us in the place4725 of dragons,8577 and covered3680 us with the shadow of death.675720 If we have forgotten7911 the name8034 of our God,430 or stretched out6566 our hands3709 to a strange2114 god;41021 Shall not God430 search this out?2713 for he knoweth3045 the secrets8587 of the heart.382022 Yea, for thy sake are we killed2026 all the day3117 long; we are counted2803 as sheep6629 for the slaughter.2878
Psalm 44:23 Awake,5782 why sleepest3462 thou, O Lord?136 arise,6974 cast us not off2186 for ever.533124 Wherefore hidest5641 thou thy face,6440and forgettest7911 our affliction6040 and our oppression?390625 For our soul5315 is bowed down7743 to the dust:6083 our belly990 cleaveth1692 unto the earth.77626 Arise6965 for our help,5833{Heb. a help for us} and redeem6299 us for thy mercies'2617 sake.
