44:1 |
[For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah]. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us, The work that Thou didst in their days, In the days of old.
|
44:2 |
Thou with Thine own hand didst drive out the nations; Then Thou didst plant them; Thou didst afflict the peoples, Then Thou didst spread them abroad.
|
44:3 |
For by their own sword they did not possess the land; And their own arm did not save them; But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy presence, For Thou didst favor them.
|
44:4 |
Thou art my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob.
|
44:5 |
Through Thee we will push back our adversaries; Through Thy name we will trample down those who rise up against us.
|
44:6 |
For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me.
|
44:7 |
But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And Thou hast put to shame those who hate us.
|
44:8 |
In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Thy name forever. Selah.
|
44:9 |
Yet Thou hast rejected [us] and brought us to dishonor, And dost not go out with our armies.
|
44:10 |
Thou dost cause us to turn back from the adversary; And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
|
44:11 |
Thou dost give us as sheep to be eaten, And hast scattered us among the nations.
|
44:12 |
Thou dost sell Thy people cheaply, And hast not profited by their sale.
|
44:13 |
Thou dost make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us.
|
44:14 |
Thou dost make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples.
|
44:15 |
All day long my dishonor is before me, And my humiliation has overwhelmed me,
|
44:16 |
Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.
|
44:17 |
All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten Thee, And we have not dealt falsely with Thy covenant.
|
44:18 |
Our heart has not turned back, And our steps have not deviated from Thy way,
|
44:19 |
Yet Thou hast crushed us in a place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.
|
44:20 |
If we had forgotten the name of our God, Or extended our hands to a strange god;
|
44:21 |
Would not God find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
|
44:22 |
But for Thy sake we are killed all day long; We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
|
44:23 |
Arouse Thyself, why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not reject us forever.
|
44:24 |
Why dost Thou hide Thy face, And forget our affliction and our oppression?
|
44:25 |
For our soul has sunk down into the dust; Our body cleaves to the earth.
|
44:26 |
Rise up, be our help, And redeem us for the sake of Thy lovingkindness.
