Psalms:44

Seeker Overlay ON

* &lt ;&lt ;To the Overcomer for the sons of Korah , Maschil .&gt ;&gt ; 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 . * [How ] thou didst drive out the Gentiles with thy hand and plant them [in their place ]; [how ] thou didst afflict the peoples and cast them out . * For they did not get the land in inheritance 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 thy delight was in them . * Thou art my King , O God ; command saving health unto Jacob . * Through thee will we push down our enemies ; through thy name will we tread under those that rise up against us . * For I will not trust in my bow , neither shall my sword save me . * But thou hast saved us from our enemies and hast put to shame those that hated us . * In God we boast all the day long and praise thy name for ever . Selah . * But thou hast cast [us ] off and put us to shame and doth not go forth with our armies . * Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy , and we are spoiled by those who hate us . * Thou hast given us [over ] like sheep [appointed ] for food and hast scattered us among the Gentiles . * Thou hast sold thy people for nothing and dost not increase [thy wealth ] by their price . * Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours , a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us . * Thou makest us a byword among the Gentiles , a shaking of the head among the people . * My confusion [is ] continually before me , and the shame of my face has covered me , * for the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes by reason of the enemy and of the avenger . * All this is come upon us ; yet we have not forgotten thee , neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant . * Our heart is not turned back , neither have our steps declined from thy way * though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons and covered us with the shadow of death . * If we have forgotten the name of our God or stretched out our hands to a strange god , * shall not God search this out ? For he knows the secrets of the heart . * Yea , for thy sake are we killed all the day long ; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter . * Awake , why sleepest thou , O Lord ? Arise , do not cast [us ] off for ever . * Why dost thou hide thy face [and ] forget our affliction and our oppression ? * For our soul is bowed down to the dust ; our belly cleaves unto the earth . * Arise for our help and ransom us for thy mercies ' sake .:
