44:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764 for the sons 1121 of Korah 7141, Maschil 4905 8688. We have heard 8085 8804 with our ears 241, O God 430, our fathers 1 have told 5608 8765 us, [what] work 6467 thou didst 6466 8804 in their days 3117, in the times 3117 of old 6924.

44:2 [How] thou didst drive out 3423 8689 the heathen 1471 with thy hand 3027, and plantedst 5193 8799 them; [how] thou didst afflict 7489 8686 the people 3816, and cast them out 7971 8762.

44:3 For they got 3423 0 not the land 776 in possession 3423 8804 by their own sword 2719, neither did their own arm 2220 save 3467 8689 them: but thy right hand 3225, and thine arm 2220, and the light 216 of thy countenance 6440, because thou hadst a favour 7521 8804 unto them.

44:4 Thou art my King 4428, O God 430: command 6680 8761 deliverances 3444 for Jacob 3290.

44:5 Through thee will we push down 5055 8762 our enemies 6862: through thy name 8034 will we tread them under 947 8799 that rise up 6965 8801 against us.

44:6 For I will not trust 982 8799 in my bow 7198, neither shall my sword 2719 save 3467 8686 me.

44:7 But thou hast saved 3467 8689 us from our enemies 6862, and hast put them to shame 954 8689 that hated 8130 8764 us.

44:8 In God 430 we boast 1984 8765 all the day 3117 long, and praise 3034 8686 thy name 8034 for ever 5769. Selah 5542.

44:9 But 637 thou hast cast off 2186 8804, and put us to shame 3637 8686; and goest not forth 3318 8799 with our armies 6635.

44:10 Thou makest us to turn 7725 8686 back 268 from the enemy 6862: and they which hate 8130 8764 us spoil 8154 8804 for themselves.

44:11 Thou hast given 5414 8799 us like sheep 6629 [appointed] for meat 3978; and hast scattered 2219 8765 us among the heathen 1471.(like…: Heb. as sheep of meat)

44:12 Thou sellest 4376 8799 thy people 5971 for nought 1952, and dost not increase 7235 8765 [thy wealth] by their price 4242.(for…: Heb. without riches)

44:13 Thou makest 7760 8799 us a reproach 2781 to our neighbours 7934, a scorn 3933 and a derision 7047 to them that are round about 5439 us.

44:14 Thou makest 7760 8799 us a byword 4912 among the heathen 1471, a shaking 4493 of the head 7218 among the people 3816.

44:15 My confusion 3639 [is] continually 3117 before me, and the shame 1322 of my face 6440 hath covered 3680 8765 me,

44:16 For the voice 6963 of him that reproacheth 2778 8764 and blasphemeth 1442 8764; by reason 6440 of the enemy 341 8802 and avenger 5358 8693.

44:17 All this is come 935 8804 upon us; yet have we not forgotten 7911 8804 thee, neither have we dealt falsely 8266 8765 in thy covenant 1285.

44:18 Our heart 3820 is not turned 5472 8738 back 268, neither have our steps 838 declined 5186 8799 from thy way 734;(steps: or, goings)

44:19 Though thou hast sore broken 1794 8765 us in the place 4725 of dragons 8577, and covered 3680 8762 us with the shadow of death 6757.

44:20 If we have forgotten 7911 8804 the name 8034 of our God 430, or stretched out 6566 8799 our hands 3709 to a strange 2114 8801 god 410;

44:21 Shall not God 430 search this out 2713 8799? for he knoweth 3045 8802 the secrets 8587 of the heart 3820.

44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed 2026 8795 all the day 3117 long; we are counted 2803 8738 as sheep 6629 for the slaughter 2878.

44:23 Awake 5782 8798, why sleepest 3462 8799 thou, O Lord 136? arise 6974 8685, cast [us] not off 2186 8799 for ever 5331.

44:24 Wherefore hidest 5641 8686 thou thy face 6440, [and] forgettest 7911 8799 our affliction 6040 and our oppression 3906?

44:25 For our soul 5315 is bowed down 7743 8804 to the dust 6083: our belly 990 cleaveth 1692 8804 unto the earth 776.

44:26 Arise 6965 8798 for our help 5833, and redeem 6299 8798 us for thy mercies' 2617 sake.(for our…: Heb. a help for us)
