dby@Psalms:44:1 @ {To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction.} O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, the work thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old:
dby@Psalms:44:2 @ Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.
dby@Psalms:44:3 @ For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
dby@Psalms:44:4 @ Thou thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.
dby@Psalms:44:5 @ Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
dby@Psalms:44:6 @ For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
dby@Psalms:44:7 @ For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
dby@Psalms:44:8 @ In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.
dby@Psalms:44:9 @ But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;
dby@Psalms:44:10 @ Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;
dby@Psalms:44:11 @ Thou hast given us over like sheep [appointed] for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;
dby@Psalms:44:12 @ Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price;
dby@Psalms:44:13 @ Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;
dby@Psalms:44:14 @ Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
dby@Psalms:44:15 @ All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
dby@Psalms:44:16 @ Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
dby@Psalms:44:17 @ All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:
dby@Psalms:44:18 @ Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;
dby@Psalms:44:19 @ Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
dby@Psalms:44:20 @ If we had forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a strange �god,
dby@Psalms:44:21 @ Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
dby@Psalms:44:22 @ But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
dby@Psalms:44:23 @ Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
dby@Psalms:44:24 @ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
dby@Psalms:44:25 @ For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
dby@Psalms:44:26 @ Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.
