Psalm 44:1-26 KJV [1] We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. [2] How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. [3] For they got 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 hadst a favour unto them. [4] Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. [5] Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. [6] For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. [7] But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. [8] In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. [9] But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. [10] Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. [11] Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. [12] Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. [13] Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. [14] Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. [15] My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, [16] For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. [17] All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. [18] Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; [19] Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. [20] If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; [21] Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. [22] Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. [23] Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. [24] Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? [25] For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. [26] Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies sake.
