Psalms 44

1 ♥ 📝 F or the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. 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 days^H3117 of old.^H6924

2 ♥ 📝 Thou didst drive out^H3423 the nations^H1471 with thy hand;^H3027 But them thou didst plant:^H5193 Thou didst afflict^H7489 the peoples;^H3816 But them thou didst spread abroad.^H7971

3 ♥ 📝 For they gat^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 wast favorable^H7521 unto them.

4 ♥ 📝 Thou art my King,^H4428 O God:^H430 Command^H6680 deliverance^H3444 for Jacob.^H3290

5 ♥ 📝 Through thee will we push down^H5055 our adversaries:^H6862 Through thy name^H8034 will we tread them under^H947 that rise up^H6965 against us.

6 ♥ 📝 For I will not trust^H982 in my bow,^H7198 Neither shall my sword^H2719 save^H3467 me.

7 ♥ 📝 But thou hast saved^H3467 us from our adversaries,^H6862 And hast put them to shame^H954 that hate^H8130 us.

8 ♥ 📝 In God^H430 have we made our boast^H1984 all the day^H3117 long, And we will give thanks^H3034 unto thy name^H8034 for ever.^{H5769 H5542}

9 ♥ 📝 But^H637 now thou hast cast [us] off,^H2186 and brought us to dishonor,^H3637 And goest not forth^H3318 with our hosts.^H6635

10 ♥ 📝 Thou makest us to turn^H7725 back^H268 from the adversary;^H6862 And they that hate^H8130 us take spoil^H8154 for themselves.

11 ♥ 📝 Thou hast made^H5414 us like sheep^H6629 [appointed] for food,^H3978 And hast scattered^H2219 us among the nations.^H1471

12 ♥ 📝 Thou sellest^H4376 thy people^H5971 for nought,^H1952 And hast not increased^H7235 [thy wealth] by their price.^H4242

13 ♥ 📝 Thou makest^H7760 us a reproach^H2781 to our neighbors,^H7934 A scoffing^H3933 and a derision^H7047 to them that are round about^H5439 us.

14 ♥ 📝 Thou makest^H7760 us a byword^H4912 among the nations,^H1471 A shaking^H4493 of the head^H7218 among the peoples.^H3816

15 ♥ 📝 All^H3117 the day long is my dishonor^H1322 before me, And the shame^H1322 of my face^H6440 hath covered^H3680 me,

16 ♥ 📝 For the voice^H6963 of him that reproacheth^H2778 and blasphemeth,^H1442 By reason^H6440 of the enemy^H341 and the avenger.^H5358

17 ♥ 📝 All this is come^H935 upon us; Yet have we not forgotten^H7911 thee, Neither have we dealt falsely^H8266 in thy covenant.^H1285

18 ♥ 📝 Our heart^H3820 is not turned^H5472 back,^H268 Neither have our steps^H838 declined^H5186 from thy way,^H734

19 ♥ 📝 That thou hast sore broken^H1794 us in the place^H4725 of jackals,^H8577 And covered^H3680 us with the shadow of death.^H6757

20 ♥ 📝 If we have forgotten^H7911 the name^H8034 of our God,^H430 Or spread forth^H6566 our hands^H3709 to a strange^H2114 god;^H410

21 ♥ 📝 Will not God^H430 search this out?^H2713 For he knoweth^H3045 the secrets^H8587 of the heart.^H3820

22 ♥ 📝 Yea, for thy sake are we killed^H2026 all the day^H3117 long; We are accounted^H2803 as sheep^H6629 for the slaughter.^H2878

23 ♥ 📝 Awake,^H5782 why sleepest^H3462 thou, O Lord?^H136 Arise,^H6974 cast [us] not off^H2186 for ever.^H5331

24 ♥ 📝 Wherefore hidest^H5641 thou thy face,^H6440 And forgettest^H7911 our affliction^H6040 and our oppression?^H3906

25 ♥ 📝 For our soul^H5315 is bowed down^H7743 to the dust:^H6083 Our body^H990 cleaveth^H1692 unto the earth.^H776

26 ♥ 📝 Rise^H6965 up for our help,^H5833 And redeem^H6299 us for thy lovingkindness'^H2617 sake.
