Psalms 44 (kjv)

To the chief Musician^H5329 for the sons^H1121 of Korah^H7141, Maschil^H4905. We have heard^H8085 with our ears^H241, O God^H430, our fathers^H1 have told^H5608 us, what work^H6467 thou didst^H6466 in their days^H3117, in the times^H3117 of old^H6924.²How thou didst drive out^H3423 the heathen^H1471 with thy hand^H3027, and plantedst^H5193 them; how thou didst afflict^H7489 the people^H3816, and cast them out^H7971.³For they got^H3423 not the land^H776 in possession^H3423 by their own sword^H2719, neither did their own arm^H2220 save^H3467 them: but thy right hand^H3225, and thine arm^H2220, and the light^H216 of thy countenance^H6440, because thou hadst a favour^H7521 unto them.⁴Thou art my King^H4428, O God^H430: command^H6680 deliverances^H3444 for Jacob^H3290.⁵Through thee will we push down^H5055 our enemies^H6862: through thy name^H8034 will we tread them under^H947 that rise up^H6965 against us.⁶For I will not trust^H982 in my bow^H7198, neither shall my sword^H2719 save^H3467 me.

⁷But thou hast saved^H3467 us from our enemies^H6862, and hast put them to shame^H954 that hated^H8130 us.⁸In God^H430 we boast^H1984 all the day^H3117 long, and praise^H3034 thy name^H8034 for ever^H5769. Selah^H5542.⁹But^H637 thou hast cast off^H2186, and put us to shame^H3637; and goest not forth^H3318 with our armies^H6635.¹⁰Thou makest us to turn^H7725 back^H268 from the enemy^H6862: and they which hate^H8130 us spoil^H8154 for themselves.¹¹Thou hast given^H5414 us like sheep^H6629 appointed for meat^H3978; and hast scattered^H2219 us among the heathen^H1471.¹²Thou sellest^H4376 thy people^H5971 for nought^H1952, and dost not increase^H7235 thy wealth by their price^H4242.¹³Thou makest^H7760 us a reproach^H2781 to our neighbours^H7934, a scorn^H3933 and a derision^H7047 to them that are round about^H5439 us.¹⁴Thou makest^H7760 us a byword^H4912 among the heathen^H1471, a shaking^H4493 of the head^H7218 among the people^H3816.¹⁵My confusion^H3639 is continually^H3117 before me, and the shame^H1322 of my face^H6440 hath covered^H3680 me,¹⁶For the voice^H6963 of him that reproacheth^H2778 and blasphemeth^H1442; by reason^H6440 of the enemy^H341 and avenger^H5358.

¹⁷All this is come^H935 upon us; yet have we not forgotten^H7911 thee, neither have we dealt falsely^H8266 in thy covenant^H1285.¹⁸Our heart^H3820 is not turned^H5472 back^H268, neither have our steps^H838 declined^H5186 from thy way^H734;¹⁹Though thou hast sore broken^H1794 us in the place^H4725 of dragons^H8577, and covered^H3680 us with the shadow of death^H6757.²⁰If we have forgotten^H7911 the name^H8034 of our God^H430, or stretched out^H6566 our hands^H3709 to a strange^H2114 god^H410;²¹Shall not God^H430 search this out^H2713? for he knoweth^H3045 the secrets^H8587 of the heart^H3820.²²Yea, for thy sake are we killed^H2026 all the day^H3117 long; we are counted^H2803 as sheep^H6629 for the slaughter^H2878.²³Awake^H5782, why sleepest^H3462 thou, O Lord^H136? arise^H6974, cast us not off^H2186 for ever^H5331.

²⁴Wherefore hidest^H5641 thou thy face^H6440, and forgettest^H7911 our affliction^H6040 and our oppression^H3906?²⁵For our soul^H5315 is bowed down^H7743 to the dust^H6083: our belly^H990 cleaveth^H1692 unto the earth^H776.²⁶Arise^H6965 for our help^H5833, and redeem^H6299 us for thy mercies^H2617' sake.
