Psalms 44

²You drove out the nations with your hand,

³For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword,

⁴God, you are my King.

⁵Through you, we will push down our adversaries.

⁶For I will not trust in my bow,

⁷But you have saved us from our adversaries,

⁸In God we have made our boast all day long.

⁹But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor,

¹⁰You make us turn back from the adversary.

¹¹You have made us like sheep for food,

¹²You sell your people for nothing,

¹³You make us a reproach to our neighbors,

¹⁴You make us a byword among the nations,

¹⁵All day long my dishonor is before me,

¹⁶at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses,

¹⁷All this has come on us,

¹⁸Our heart has not turned back,

¹⁹though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals,

²⁰If we have forgotten the name of our God,

²¹won’t God search this out?

²²Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long.

²³Wake up!

²⁴Why do you hide your face,

²⁵For our soul is bowed down to the dust.

²⁶Rise up to help us.
