44:1 [To
the
choirmaster.
A
Maskil
of
the
Sons
of
Korah.]
O
God,
we
have
heard
with
our
ears,
our
fathers
have
told
us,
what
deeds
you
performed
in
their
days,
in
the
days
of
old:
44:2 you
with
your
own
hand
drove
out
the
nations,
but
them
you
planted;
you
afflicted
the
peoples,
but
them
you
set
free;
44:3 for
not
by
their
own
sword
did
they
win
the
land,
nor
did
their
own
arm
save
them,
but
your
right
hand
and
your
arm,
and
the
light
of
your
face,
for
you
delighted
in
them.
44:4 You
are
my
King,
O
God;
ordain
salvation
for
Jacob!
44:5 Through
you
we
push
down
our
foes;
through
your
name
we
tread
down
those
who
rise
up
against
us.
44:6 For
not
in
my
bow
do
I
trust,
nor
can
my
sword
save
me.
44:7 But
you
have
saved
us
from
our
foes
and
have
put
to
shame
those
who
hate
us.
44:8 In
God
we
have
boasted
continually,
and
we
will
give
thanks
to
your
name
forever.
Selah
44:9 But
you
have
rejected
us
and
disgraced
us
and
have
not
gone
out
with
our
armies.
44:10 You
have
made
us
turn
back
from
the
foe,
and
those
who
hate
us
have
gotten
spoil.
44:11 You
have
made
us
like
sheep
for
slaughter
and
have
scattered
us
among
the
nations.
44:12 You
have
sold
your
people
for
a
trifle,
demanding
no
high
price
for
them.
44:13 You
have
made
us
the
taunt
of
our
neighbors,
the
derision
and
scorn
of
those
around
us.
44:14 You
have
made
us
a
byword
among
the
nations,
a
laughingstock
among
the
peoples.
44:15 All
day
long
my
disgrace
is
before
me,
and
shame
has
covered
my
face
44:16 at
the
sound
of
the
taunter
and
reviler,
at
the
sight
of
the
enemy
and
the
avenger.
44:17 All
this
has
come
upon
us,
though
we
have
not
forgotten
you,
and
we
have
not
been
false
to
your
covenant.
44:18 Our
heart
has
not
turned
back,
nor
have
our
steps
departed
from
your
way;
44:19 yet
you
have
broken
us
in
the
place
of
jackals
and
covered
us
with
the
shadow
of
death.
44:20 If
we
had
forgotten
the
name
of
our
God
or
spread
out
our
hands
to
a
foreign
god,
44:21 would
not
God
discover
this
For
he
knows
the
secrets
of
the
heart.
44:22 Yet
for
your
sake
we
are
killed
all
the
day
long;
we
are
regarded
as
sheep
to
be
slaughtered.
44:23 Awake!
Why
are
you
sleeping,
O
Lord
Rouse
yourself!
Do
not
reject
us
forever!
44:24 Why
do
you
hide
your
face
Why
do
you
forget
our
affliction
and
oppression
44:25 For
our
soul
is
bowed
down
to
the
dust;
our
belly
clings
to
the
ground.
44:26 Rise
up;
come
to
our
help!
Redeem
us
for
the
sake
of
your
steadfast
love!
