044:001
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.

044:002
How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

044:003
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.

044:004
Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

044:005
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

044:006
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

044:007
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

044:008
In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

044:009
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

044:010
Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

044:011
Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

044:012
Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

044:013
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

044:014
Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

044:015
My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

044:016
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

044:017
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

044:018
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

044:019
Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

044:020
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

044:021
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

044:022
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

044:023
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

044:024
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

044:025
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

044:026
Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
