Psalms 44

(Romans 8:35–39)

1We have heardH8085 with our earsH241, O GodH430;our fathersH1 have toldH5608 usthe workH6467 You didH6466 in their daysH3117,in the daysH3117 of oldH6924.2With Your handH3027 YouH859 drove outH3423 the nationsH1471and planted our fathers thereH5193;You crushedH7489 the peoplesH3816and cast them outH7971.3ForH3588 it was notH3808 by their swordH2719 that they tookH3423 the landH776;their armH2220 did notH3808 bring them victoryH3467.It wasH3588 by Your right handH3225,Your armH2220, and the lightH216 of Your faceH6440,becauseH3588 You favored themH7521.

4YouH859 H1931 are my KingH4428, O GodH430,who ordainsH6680 victoriesH3444 for JacobH3290.5Through You we repelH5055 our foesH6862;through Your nameH8034 we trampleH947 our enemiesH6965.6ForH3588 I do notH3808 trustH982 in my bowH7198,nor does my swordH2719 H3808 save meH3467.17ForH3588 You save usH3467 from our enemiesH6862;You put those who hate usH8130 to shameH954.8In GodH430 we have boastedH1984 all day longH3605 H3117,and Your nameH8034 we will praiseH3034 foreverH5769.SelahH55429ButH637 You have rejectedH2186 and humbled usH3637;You no longerH3808 go forthH3318 with our armiesH6635.10You have made us retreatH7725 H268 fromH4480 the foeH6862,and those who hate usH8130 have plundered usH8154.11You have given us upH5414 as sheepH6629 to be devouredH3978;You have scattered usH2219 among the nationsH1471.12You sellH4376 Your peopleH5971 for nothingH3808;noH3808 profitH1952 do You gainH7235 from their saleH4242.

13You have made usH7760 a reproachH2781 to our neighborsH7934,a mockeryH3933 and derisionH7047 to those around usH5439.14You have made usH7760 a bywordH4912 among the nationsH1471,a laughingstockH4493 H7218 2 amongH1077 the peoplesH523.15All day longH3605 H3117 my disgraceH3639 is before meH5048,and shameH1322 has coveredH3680 my faceH6440,16at the voiceH6963 of the scornerH2778 and revilerH1442,because ofH6440 the enemyH341, bent on revengeH5358.

17AllH3605 thisH2063 has come upon usH935,though we have notH3808 forgotten YouH7911 H3808or betrayedH8266 Your covenantH1285.18Our heartsH3820 have notH3808 turned backH5472 H268;our stepsH838 have not strayedH5186 fromH4480 Your pathH734.19ButH3588 You have crushed usH1794 in the lairH4725 of jackalsH8577;3You have covered usH3680 H5921 with deepest darknessH6757.

20IfH518 we had forgottenH7911 the nameH8034 of our GodH430or spread outH6566 our handsH3709 to a foreignH2114 godH410,21would notH3808 GodH430 have discoveredH2063 H2713,sinceH3588 HeH1931 knowsH3045 the secretsH8587 of the heartH3820?22YetH3588 for Your sakeH5921 we face deathH2026 all day longH3605 H3117;we are consideredH2803 as sheepH6629 to be slaughteredH2878.4

23Wake upH5782, O LordH136! WhyH4100 are You sleepingH3462?AriseH6974! Do notH408 reject us foreverH2186 H5331.24WhyH4100 do You hideH5641 Your faceH6440and forgetH7911 our afflictionH6040 and oppressionH3906?25ForH3588 our soulH5315 has sunkH7743 to the dustH6083;our bodiesH990 clingH1692 to the earthH776.26Rise upH6965; be our helpH5833!Redeem usH6299 on account ofH4616 Your loving devotionH2617.
