  44:1 ¶
[[For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Korah{gr.Core}.]] 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. |
|
44:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musicianºº
for the sonsº
of Korah,º
Maschil.]]ºº
We have heardºº
with our ears,º
O Elohim,º
our fathersº
have toldºº
us, [what] workº
thou didstºº
in their days,º
in the timesº
of old.º |
|
44:2
Thine hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict the nations, and cast them out. |
44:2
[How] thouº
didst drive outºº
the heathenº
with thy hand,º
and plantedstºº
them; [how] thou didst afflictºº
the people,º
and cast them out.ºº |
|
44:3
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. |
44:3
Forº
they gotºº
notº
the landº
in possessionºº
by their own sword,º
neitherº
did their own armº
saveºº
them: butº
thy right hand,º
and thine arm,º
and the lightº
of thy countenance,º
becauseº
thou hadst a favourºº
unto them. |
|
44:4
Thou art indeed my King and my God, who commandest deliverances for Jacob. |
44:4
Thouº
art my King,º
O Elohim:º
commandºº
deliverancesº
for Jacob.º |
|
44:5
In thee will we push down our enemies, and in thy name will we bring to nought them that rise up against us. |
44:5
Through thee will we push downºº
our enemies:º
through thy nameº
will we tread them underºº
that rise upºº
againstº
us. |
|
44:6
For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me. |
44:6
Forº
I will notº
trustºº
in my bow,º
neitherº
shall my swordº
saveºº
me. |
|
44:7
For thou hast saved us from them that afflicted us, and hast put to shame them that hated us. |
44:7
Butº
thou hast savedºº
us from our enemies,ºº
and hast put them to shameºº
that hatedºº
us. |
|
44:8
In God will we make our boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. Pause. |
44:8
In Elohimº
we boastºº
allº
the dayº
long, and praiseºº
thy nameº
for ever.º
Selah.º |
|
44:9
But now thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and thou wilt not go forth with our hosts. |
44:9
Butº
thou hast cast off,ºº
and put us to shame;ºº
and goest not forthººº
with our armies.º |
|
44:10
Thou hast turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves. |
44:10
Thou makest us to turnºº
backº
fromº
the enemy:º
and they which hateºº
us spoilºº
for themselves. |
|
44:11
Thou madest us as sheep for meat; and thou scatteredst us among the nations. |
44:11
Thou hast givenºº
us like sheepº
[appointed] for meat;º
and hast scatteredºº
us among the heathen.º |
|
44:12
Thou hast sold thy people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange. |
44:12
Thou sellestºº
thy peopleº
for nought,ºº
and dost notº
increaseºº
[thy wealth] by their price.º |
|
44:13
Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision them that are round about us. |
44:13
Thou makestºº
us a reproachº
to our neighbours,º
a scornº
and a derisionº
to them that are round aboutº
us. |
|
44:14
Thou hast made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations. |
44:14
Thou makestºº
us a bywordº
among the heathen,º
a shakingº
of the headº
among the people.º |
|
44:15
All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me, |
44:15
My confusionº
[is] continuallyºº
beforeº
me, and the shameº
of my faceº
hath coveredºº
me, |
|
44:16
because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger. |
44:16
For the voiceºº
of him that reproachethºº
and blasphemeth;ºº
by reasonºº
of the enemyºº
and avenger.ºº |
|
44:17
All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt unrighteously in thy covenant. |
44:17
Allº
thisº
is comeºº
uponº
us; yet have we notº
forgottenºº
thee, neitherº
have we dealt falselyºº
in thy covenant.º |
|
44:18
And our heart has not gone back; but thou hast turned aside our paths from thy way. |
44:18
Our heartº
is notº
turnedºº
back,º
neither have our stepsº
declinedºº
fromº
thy way;º |
|
44:19
For thou hast laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us. |
44:19
Thoughº
thou hast sore brokenºº
us in the placeº
of dragons,º
and coveredººº
us with the shadow of death.º |
|
44:20
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? |
44:20
Ifº
we have forgottenºº
the nameº
of our Elohim,º
or stretched outºº
our handsº
to a strangeºº
el;º |
|
44:21
for he knows the secrets of the heart. |
44:21
Shall notº
Elohimº
searchº
thisº
out?ºº
forº
heº
knowethºº
the secretsº
of the heart.º |
|
44:22
For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter. |
44:22
Yea,º
forº
thy sake are we killedºº
allº
the dayº
long; we are countedºº
as sheepº
for the slaughter.º |
|
44:23
Awake, wherefore sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and do not cast [us] off for ever. |
44:23
Awake,ºº
whyº
sleepestºº
thou, O Yahweh?º
arise,ºº
castº
[us] notº
offºº
for ever.º |
|
44:24
Wherefore turnest thou thy face away, [and] forgettest our poverty and our affliction? |
44:24
Whereforeº
hidestºº
thou thy face,º
[and] forgettestºº
our afflictionº
and our oppression?º |
|
44:25
For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth. |
44:25
Forº
our soulº
is bowed downºº
to the dust:º
our bellyº
cleavethºº
unto the earth.º |
|
44:26
Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for thy name's sake. |
44:26
Ariseºº
for our help,º
and redeemºº
us for thy mercies'º
sake.ºº |
