44:1 |
We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.
|
44:2 |
With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish.
|
44:3 |
It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.
|
44:4 |
You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.
|
44:5 |
Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.
|
44:6 |
I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;
|
44:7 |
but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
|
44:8 |
In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. ((Selah))
|
44:9 |
But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
|
44:10 |
You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
|
44:11 |
You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
|
44:12 |
You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.
|
44:13 |
You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
|
44:14 |
You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.
|
44:15 |
My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame
|
44:16 |
at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
|
44:17 |
All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant.
|
44:18 |
Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path.
|
44:19 |
But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness.
|
44:20 |
If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
|
44:21 |
would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?
|
44:22 |
Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
|
44:23 |
Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
|
44:24 |
Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?
|
44:25 |
We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground.
|
44:26 |
Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love. ""
