Psalms 44

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 O God, we have heard with our ears; our ancestors have told us of work you worked in their days, in days of old.

2 You [with] your hand drove out the nations, but them you planted. You harmed [the] peoples, but them you let spread out.

3 For not with their sword did they possess [the] land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather [it was] your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them.

4 You are my king, O God. Command victories for Jacob.

5 By you we push down our enemies; by your name we tread down those who rise up against us.

6 For I do not trust my bow, and my sword cannot give me victory.

7 Rather you have saved us from our enemies, and have humiliated those who hate us.

8 In God we boast all the day, and we will give thanks [to] your name forever. Selah

9 Surely you have rejected and disgraced us, and have not gone out with our armies.

10 You have caused us to pull back from [the] enemy, and [so] those who hate us have plundered for themselves.

11 You have given us as sheep [for] food, and among the nations you have scattered us.

12 You have sold your people {cheaply}, and did not profit by their price.

13 You have made us a taunt to our neighbors, a derision and a scorn to those around us.

14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a shaking of [the] head among [the] peoples.

15 {All day long} my disgrace [is] before me, and the shame of my face covers me,

16 because of [the] voice of [the] taunter and [the] reviler, because of [the] enemy and [the] avenger.

17 All this has befallen us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.

18 Our heart has not turned back, and our steps have [not] turned aside from your way.

19 But you have crushed us in a place of jackals, and have covered us with deep shadow.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or had spread out our hands [in prayer] to a foreign god,

21 would not God discover this, for he knows [the] secrets of [the] heart?

22 Rather, on account of you we are killed {all day long}; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.

23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Awake! Do not reject forever.

24 Why do you hide your face? [Have] you forgotten our misery and our oppression?

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our {body} clings to the ground.

26 Rise up! [Be a] help for us, and redeem us for the sake of your loyal love.

New International Version NIV

1 We have heard it with our ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

2 With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors; you crushed the peoples and made our ancestors flourish.

3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

4 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.

5 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.

6 I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;

7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.

8 In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.

9 But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.

10 You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.

11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.

12 You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.

13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.

14 You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.

15 I live in disgrace all day long, and my face is covered with shame

16 at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.

17 All this came upon us, though we had not forgotten you; we had not been false to your covenant.

18 Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path.

19 But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals; you covered us over with deep darkness.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21 would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?

22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23 Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.

24 Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?

25 We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground.

26 Rise up and help us; rescue us because of your unfailing love.
