Psalms 44

¹TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work You worked in their days, In the days of old.

²You, with Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.

³For they did not possess the land by their sword, And their arm did not give salvation to them, But Your right hand, and Your arm, And the light of Your countenance, Because You had accepted them.

⁴You are He, my King, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.

⁵By You we push our adversaries, By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,

⁶For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.

⁷For You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those hating us.

⁸In God we have boasted all the day, And we thank Your Name for all time. Selah.

⁹In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, And do not go forth with our hosts.

¹⁰You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.

¹¹You make us food like sheep, And You have scattered us among nations.

¹²You sell Your people—without wealth, And have not become great by their price.

¹³You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.

¹⁴You make us an allegory among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.

¹⁵All the day my confusion is before me, And the shame of my face has covered me.

¹⁶Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.

¹⁷All this met us, and we did not forget You, Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.

¹⁸We do not turn our heart backward, Nor turn aside our step from Your path.

¹⁹But You have struck us in a place of dragons, And cover us over with death-shade.

²⁰If we have forgotten the Name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,

²¹Does God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

²²Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.

²³Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.

²⁴Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,

²⁵For our soul has bowed to the dust, Our belly has cleaved to the earth.

²⁶Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
