Psalm 44 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Former Deliverances and Present Troubles.

Psa 44:1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil.

We have heard with our ears, O God,

Our fathers have told us,

What work thou didst in their days,

In the days of old.

Psa 44:2

Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;

But them thou didst plant:

Thou didst afflict the peoples;

But them thou didst spread abroad.

Psa 44:3

For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,

Neither did their own arm save them;

But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,

Because thou wast favorable unto them.

Psa 44:4

Thou art my King, O God:

Command deliverance for Jacob.

Psa 44:5

Through thee will we push down our adversaries:

Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

Psa 44:6

For I will not trust in my bow,

Neither shall my sword save me.

Psa 44:7

But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,

And hast put them to shame that hate us.

Psa 44:8

In God have we made our boast all the day long,

And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever.

[Selah

Psa 44:9

But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,

And goest not forth with our hosts.

Psa 44:10

Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;

And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.

Psa 44:11

Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,

And hast scattered us among the nations.

Psa 44:12

Thou sellest thy people for nought,

And hast not increased thy wealth by their price.

Psa 44:13

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,

A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.

Psa 44:14

Thou makest us a byword among the nations,

A shaking of the head among the peoples.

Psa 44:15

All the day long is my dishonor before me,

And the shame of my face hath covered me,

Psa 44:16

For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,

By reason of the enemy and the avenger.

Psa 44:17

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,

Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Psa 44:18

Our heart is not turned back,

Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

Psa 44:19

That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals,

And covered us with the shadow of death.

Psa 44:20

If we have forgotten the name of our God,

Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

Psa 44:21

Will not God search this out?

For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Psa 44:22

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;

We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Psa 44:23

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?

Arise, cast us not off for ever.

Psa 44:24

Wherefore hidest thou thy face,

And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

Psa 44:25

For our soul is bowed down to the dust:

Our body cleaveth unto the earth.

Psa 44:26

Rise up for our help,

And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
