Psalms Chapter 44
44:1 | To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou didst in their ![]() ![]() |
44:2 | [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. |
44:3 | For they got not the land in possession by their own ![]() ![]() |
44:4 | Thou ![]() ![]() |
44:5 | Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. |
44:6 | For I will not ![]() ![]() ![]() |
44:7 | But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. |
44:8 | In God we boast all the ![]() |
44:9 | But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. |
44:10 | Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. |
44:11 | Thou hast given us like ![]() ![]() |
44:12 | Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price. |
44:13 | Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. |
44:14 | Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. |
44:15 | My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
44:16 | For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. |
44:17 | All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. |
44:18 | Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; |
44:19 | Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of ![]() |
44:20 | If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; |
44:21 | Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
44:22 | Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the ![]() ![]() |
44:23 | Awake, why sleepest thou, O 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 ![]() |
44:26 | Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
