| 44:1 |
{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction.} O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, the work thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old:
|
| 44:2 |
Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.
|
| 44:3 |
For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
|
| 44:4 |
Thou thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.
|
| 44:5 |
Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
|
| 44:6 |
For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
|
| 44:7 |
For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
|
| 44:8 |
In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.
|
| 44:9 |
But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;
|
| 44:10 |
Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;
|
| 44:11 |
Thou hast given us over like sheep [appointed] for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;
|
| 44:12 |
Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price;
|
| 44:13 |
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;
|
| 44:14 |
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
|
| 44:15 |
All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
|
| 44:16 |
Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
|
| 44:17 |
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:
|
| 44:18 |
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;
|
| 44:19 |
Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
|
| 44:20 |
If we had forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a strange od,
|
| 44:21 |
Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
|
| 44:22 |
But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
|
| 44:23 |
Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
|
| 44:24 |
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
|
| 44:25 |
For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
|
| 44:26 |
Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.
