Psalm 44

To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:1} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:3} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:4} Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:5} Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:6} For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:7} But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:8} In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:9} But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:10} Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:11} Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:12} Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:13} Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:14} Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:15} My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:16} For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:17} All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:18} Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:19} Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:20} If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:21} Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:22} Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:23} Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:24} Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:25} For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 44:26} Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
