Psalm 44

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old.

2 Thine hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict the nations, and cast them out.

3 For they inherited not the land by their own sword, and their own arm did not deliver them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou wert well pleased in them.

4 Thou art indeed my King and my God, who commandest deliverances for Jacob.

5 In thee will we push down our enemies, and in thy name will we bring to nought them that rise up against us.

6 For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.

7 For thou hast saved us from them that afflicted us, and hast put to shame them that hated us.

8 In God will we make our boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. Pause.

9 But now thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and thou wilt not go forth with our hosts.

10 Thou hast turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.

11 Thou madest us as sheep for meat; and thou scatteredst us among the nations.

12 Thou hast sold thy people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.

13 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision them that are round about us.

14 Thou hast made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations.

15 All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,

16 because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.

17 All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt unrighteously in thy covenant.

18 And our heart has not gone back; but thou hast turned aside our paths from thy way.

19 For thou hast laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; shall not God search these things out?

21 for he knows the secrets of the heart.

22 For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.

23 Awake, wherefore sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and do not cast us off for ever.

24 Wherefore turnest thou thy face away, and forgettest our poverty and our affliction?

25 For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.

26 Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for thy name’s sake.

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.
