mkjv@Psalms:44:1 @ To the Chief Musician. For the sons of Korah, a contemplation. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work which You did in their days, in the days of old.

mkjv@Psalms:44:2 @ You drove out the nations [with] Your hand, and planted them; You brought evil on peoples and cast them out.

mkjv@Psalms:44:3 @ For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but [it was] Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

mkjv@Psalms:44:4 @ You [are] my king, O God; command victories for Jacob.

mkjv@Psalms:44:5 @ Through You we will push our enemies; through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

mkjv@Psalms:44:6 @ For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

mkjv@Psalms:44:7 @ But You have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame, those who hated us.

mkjv@Psalms:44:8 @ In God we boast all the day long, and praise Your name forever. Selah.

mkjv@Psalms:44:9 @ Now You have cast us off, and have shamed us, and You do not go forth with our armies.

mkjv@Psalms:44:10 @ You make us turn back from the adversary; and our haters plunder for themselves.

mkjv@Psalms:44:11 @ You have given us like sheep [for] food, and have scattered us among the nations.

mkjv@Psalms:44:12 @ You have sold Your people for nothing, and You did not increase by their price.

mkjv@Psalms:44:13 @ You make us a curse to our neighbors, a scorn and a mockery to those who are round about us.

mkjv@Psalms:44:14 @ You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.

mkjv@Psalms:44:15 @ My shame [is] always before me, and the shame of my face has covered me:

mkjv@Psalms:44:16 @ because of the voice of the slanderer and the blasphemer; before the enemy and avenger.

mkjv@Psalms:44:17 @ All this has come on us; yet we have not forgotten You nor dealt falsely in Your covenant.

mkjv@Psalms:44:18 @ Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps turned aside from Your way,

mkjv@Psalms:44:19 @ though You have crushed us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.

mkjv@Psalms:44:20 @ If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god,

mkjv@Psalms:44:21 @ shall not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

mkjv@Psalms:44:22 @ Yea, for Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

mkjv@Psalms:44:23 @ Awaken! Why do You sleep, O LORD? Arise! Do not cast [us] off forever.

mkjv@Psalms:44:24 @ Why do You hide Your face, [and] forget our affliction and distress?

mkjv@Psalms:44:25 @ For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly holds fast to the earth.

mkjv@Psalms:44:26 @ Arise [for] our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your mercy.
