44:1 |
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds thou didst perform in their days, in the days of old:
|
44:2 |
thou with thy own hand didst drive out the nations, but them thou didst plant;thou didst afflict the peoples, but them thou didst set free;
|
44:3 |
for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm give them victory;but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance;for thou didst delight in them.
|
44:4 |
Thou art my King and my God, who ordainest victories for Jacob.
|
44:5 |
Through thee we push down our foes;through thy name we tread down our assailants.
|
44:6 |
For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.
|
44:7 |
But thou hast saved us from our foes, and hast put to confusion those who hate us.
|
44:8 |
In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]
|
44:9 |
Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.
|
44:10 |
Thou hast made us turn back from the foe;and our enemies have gotten spoil.
|
44:11 |
Thou hast made us like sheep for slaughter, and hast scattered us among the nations.
|
44:12 |
Thou hast sold thy people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.
|
44:13 |
Thou hast made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those about us.
|
44:14 |
Thou hast made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
|
44:15 |
All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
|
44:16 |
at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.
|
44:17 |
All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten thee, or been false to thy covenant.
|
44:18 |
Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from thy way,
|
44:19 |
that thou shouldst have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness.
|
44:20 |
If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god,
|
44:21 |
would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
|
44:22 |
Nay, for thy sake we are slain all the day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
|
44:23 |
Rouse thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever!
|
44:24 |
Why dost thou hide thy face? Why dost thou forget our affliction and oppression?
|
44:25 |
For our soul is bowed down to the dust;our body cleaves to the ground.
|
44:26 |
Rise up, come to our help! Deliver us for the sake of thy steadfast love!
