Psalm 44 (WEBP)

[1] We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
[2] You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
[3] For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
[4] God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
[5] Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
[6] For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
[7] But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
[8] In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
[9] But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
[10] You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
[11] You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
[12] You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
[13] You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
[14] You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
[15] All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
[16] at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
[17] All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
[18] Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
[19] though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
[20] If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
[21] won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
[22] Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
[23] Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
[24] Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
[25] For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
[26] Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

Psalm 44:23 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”

Psalm 44 (KJVS)

[1] We have heard () with our ears, O God, our fathers have told () us, [what] work thou didst () in their days, in the times of old.
[2] [How] thou didst drive out () the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst () them; [how] thou didst afflict () the people, and cast them out. ()
[3] For they got not the land in possession () by their own sword, neither did their own arm save () them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour () unto them.
[4] Thou art my King, O God: command () deliverances for Jacob.
[5] Through thee will we push down () our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under () that rise up () against us.
[6] For I will not trust () in my bow, neither shall my sword save () me.
[7] But thou hast saved () us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame () that hated () us.
[8] In God we boast () all the day long, and praise () thy name for ever. Selah.
[9] But thou hast cast off, () and put us to shame; () and goest not forth () with our armies.
[10] Thou makest us to turn () back from the enemy: and they which hate () us spoil () for themselves.
[11] Thou hast given () us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered () us among the heathen.
[12] Thou sellest () thy people for nought, and dost not increase () [thy wealth] by their price.
[13] Thou makest () us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
[14] Thou makest () us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
[15] My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered () me,
[16] For the voice of him that reproacheth () and blasphemeth; () by reason of the enemy () and avenger. ()
[17] All this is come () upon us; yet have we not forgotten () thee, neither have we dealt falsely () in thy covenant.
[18] Our heart is not turned () back, neither have our steps declined () from thy way;
[19] Though thou hast sore broken () us in the place of dragons, and covered () us with the shadow of death.
[20] If we have forgotten () the name of our God, or stretched out () our hands to a strange () god;
[21] Shall not God search this out? () for he knoweth () the secrets of the heart.
[22] Yea, for thy sake are we killed () all the day long; we are counted () as sheep for the slaughter.
[23] Awake, () why sleepest () thou, O Lord? arise, () cast [us] not off () for ever.
[24] Wherefore hidest () thou thy face, [and] forgettest () our affliction and our oppression?
[25] For our soul is bowed down () to the dust: our belly cleaveth () unto the earth.
[26] Arise () for our help, and redeem () us for thy mercies’ sake.

Psalm 44 (BYZ)

[1] [43:1] εις το τελος τοις υιοις κορε εις συνεσιν ψαλμος [43:2] ο θεος εν τοις ωσιν ημων ηκουσαμεν οι πατερες ημων ανηγγειλαν ημιν εργον ο ειργασω εν ταις ημεραις αυτων εν ημεραις αρχαιαις
[2] [43:3] η χειρ σου εθνη εξωλεθρευσεν και κατεφυτευσας αυτους εκακωσας λαους και εξεβαλες αυτους
[3] [43:4] ου γαρ εν τη ρομφαια αυτων εκληρονομησαν γην και ο βραχιων αυτων ουκ εσωσεν αυτους αλλ η δεξια σου και ο βραχιων σου και ο φωτισμος του προσωπου σου οτι ευδοκησας εν αυτοις
[4] [43:5] συ ει αυτος ο βασιλευς μου και ο θεος μου ο εντελλομενος τας σωτηριας ιακωβ
[5] [43:6] εν σοι τους εχθρους ημων κερατιουμεν και εν τω ονοματι σου εξουθενωσομεν τους επανιστανομενους ημιν
[6] [43:7] ου γαρ επι τω τοξω μου ελπιω και η ρομφαια μου ου σωσει με
[7] [43:8] εσωσας γαρ ημας εκ των θλιβοντων ημας και τους μισουντας ημας κατησχυνας
[8] [43:9] εν τω θεω επαινεσθησομεθα ολην την ημεραν και εν τω ονοματι σου εξομολογησομεθα εις τον αιωνα διαψαλμα
[9] [43:10] νυνι δε απωσω και κατησχυνας ημας και ουκ εξελευση εν ταις δυναμεσιν ημων
[10] [43:11] απεστρεψας ημας εις τα οπισω παρα τους εχθρους ημων και οι μισουντες ημας διηρπαζον εαυτοις
[11] [43:12] εδωκας ημας ως προβατα βρωσεως και εν τοις εθνεσιν διεσπειρας ημας
[12] [43:13] απεδου τον λαον σου ανευ τιμης και ουκ ην πληθος εν τοις αλλαγμασιν αυτων
[13] [43:14] εθου ημας ονειδος τοις γειτοσιν ημων μυκτηρισμον και καταγελωτα τοις κυκλω ημων
[14] [43:15] εθου ημας εις παραβολην εν τοις εθνεσιν κινησιν κεφαλης εν τοις λαοις
[15] [43:16] ολην την ημεραν η εντροπη μου κατεναντιον μου εστιν και η αισχυνη του προσωπου μου εκαλυψεν με
[16] [43:17] απο φωνης ονειδιζοντος και παραλαλουντος απο προσωπου εχθρου και εκδιωκοντος
[17] [43:18] ταυτα παντα ηλθεν εφ ημας και ουκ επελαθομεθα σου και ουκ ηδικησαμεν εν διαθηκη σου
[18] [43:19] και ουκ απεστη εις τα οπισω η καρδια ημων και εξεκλινας τας τριβους ημων απο της οδου σου
[19] [43:20] οτι εταπεινωσας ημας εν τοπω κακωσεως και επεκαλυψεν ημας σκια θανατου
[20] [43:21] ει επελαθομεθα του ονοματος του θεου ημων και ει διεπετασαμεν χειρας ημων προς θεον αλλοτριον
[21] [43:22] ουχι ο θεος εκζητησει ταυτα αυτος γαρ γινωσκει τα κρυφια της καρδιας
[22] [43:23] οτι ενεκα σου θανατουμεθα ολην την ημεραν ελογισθημεν ως προβατα σφαγης
[23] [43:24] εξεγερθητι ινα τι υπνοις κυριε αναστηθι και μη απωση εις τελος
[24] [43:25] ινα τι το προσωπον σου αποστρεφεις επιλανθανη της πτωχειας ημων και της θλιψεως ημων
[25] [43:26] οτι εταπεινωθη εις χουν η ψυχη ημων εκολληθη εις γην η γαστηρ ημων
[26] [43:27] αναστα κυριε βοηθησον ημιν και λυτρωσαι ημας ενεκεν του ονοματος σου
