| 44:1 |
|
| 44:2 |
Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.
|
| 44:3 |
For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.
|
| 44:4 |
You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.
|
| 44:5 |
Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.
|
| 44:6 |
I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation.
|
| 44:7 |
But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.
|
| 44:8 |
Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)
|
| 44:9 |
But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.
|
| 44:10 |
Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.
|
| 44:11 |
You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.
|
| 44:12 |
You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.
|
| 44:13 |
You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.
|
| 44:14 |
Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.
|
| 44:15 |
My downfall is ever before me, and I am covered with the shame of my face;
|
| 44:16 |
Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.
|
| 44:17 |
All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.
|
| 44:18 |
Our hearts have not gone back, and our steps have not been turned out of your way;
|
| 44:19 |
Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.
|
| 44:20 |
If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,
|
| 44:21 |
Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.
|
| 44:22 |
Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.
|
| 44:23 |
Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.
|
| 44:24 |
Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?
|
| 44:25 |
For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.
|
| 44:26 |
Up! and come to our help, and give us salvation because of your mercy.
