Psalm 44 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A [fn]Maskil.

O God ^H430, we have heard ^H8085 with our ears ^H241,

Our fathers ^H1 have recounted ^H5608 to us

The work ^H6467 that You did ^H6466 in their days ^H3117,

In the days ^H3117 of old ^H6924.

You with Your own hand ^H3027 dispossessed ^H3423 the nations ^H1471;

Then You planted ^H5193 them;

You afflicted ^H7489 the peoples ^H3816,

Then You cast ^H7971 them out ^H7971.

For by their own sword ^H2719 they did not possess ^H3423 the land ^H776,

And their own arm ^H2220 did not save ^H3467 them,

But Your right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 and Your arm ^H2220 and the light ^H216 of Your presence ^H6440,

For You favored ^H7521 them.

You are my King ^H4428, O God ^H430;

Command ^H6680 [fn]salvation ^H3444 for Jacob ^H3290.

Through You we will push ^H5055 back ^H5055 our adversaries ^H6862;

Through Your name ^H8034 we will tread ^H947 down ^H947 those who rise ^H6965 up ^H6965 against us.

For I will not trust ^H982 in my bow ^H7198,

And ^H3808 my sword ^H2719 will not save ^H3467 me.

But You have saved ^H3467 us from our adversaries ^H6862,

And You have put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954 those who hate ^H8130 us.

In God ^H430 we have boasted ^H1984 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long,

And we will give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to Your name ^H8034 forever ^H5769. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

Yet ^H637 You have rejected ^H2186 us and brought ^H3637 us to ^H3637 dishonor ^H3637,

And do not go ^H3318 out ^H3318 with our armies ^H6635.

You cause us to turn ^H7725 back ^H268 from the adversary ^H6862;

And those who hate ^H8130 us have plundered ^H8154 us for themselves.

You give ^H5414 us as sheep ^H6629 [fn]to be eaten ^H3978

And have scattered ^H2219 us among the nations ^H1471.

You sell ^H4376 Your people ^H5971 [fn]for no amount ^H3808 H1952,

And You have not [fn]profited ^H7235 from their price ^H4242.

You make ^H7760 us a reproach ^H2781 to our neighbors ^H7934,

A mockery ^H3933 and a derision ^H7047 to those around ^H5439 us.

You make ^H7760 us a byword ^H4912 among the nations ^H1471,

A [fn]laughingstock ^H4493 H7218 among the peoples ^H3816.

All ^H3605 day ^H3117 long my dishonor ^H3639 is before ^H5048 me

And [fn]the shame ^H1322 of my face ^H6440 has covered ^H3680 me,

Because ^H4480 of the voice ^H6963 of him who reproaches ^H2778 and reviles ^H1442,

Because ^H4480 of the presence ^H6440 of the enemy ^H340 and the avenger ^H5358.

All ^H3605 this ^H2088 has come ^H935 upon us, but we have not forgotten ^H7911 You,

And we have not dealt ^H8266 falsely ^H8266 with Your covenant ^H1285.

Our heart ^H3820 has not turned ^H5472 back ^H268,

Nor have our steps ^H838 deviated ^H5186 from Your path ^H734,

Yet ^H3588 You have crushed ^H1794 us in a place ^H4725 of jackals ^H8565

And covered ^H3680 us with the shadow ^H6757 of death ^H6757.

If ^H518 we had forgotten ^H7911 the name ^H8034 of our God ^H430

Or spread ^H6566 our [fn]hands ^H3709 to a strange ^H2114 god ^H410,

Would not God ^H430 find ^H2713 this ^H2088 out ^H2713?

For He knows ^H3045 the secrets ^H8587 of the heart ^H3820.

But for ^H5921 Your sake ^H5921 we are killed ^H2026 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long;

We are counted ^H2803 as sheep ^H6629 for the slaughter ^H2878.

Arouse ^H5782 Yourself, why ^H4100 do You sleep ^H3462, O Lord ^H136?

Awake ^H6974, do not reject ^H2186 us forever ^H5331.

Why ^H4100 do You hide ^H5641 Your face ^H6440

And forget ^H7911 our affliction ^H6040 and our oppression ^H3906?

For our soul ^H5315 has sunk ^H7743 down ^H7743 into the dust ^H6083;

Our [fn]body ^H990 cleaves ^H1692 to the earth ^H776.

Rise ^H6965 up ^H6965, be our help ^H5833,

And redeem ^H6299 us for the sake ^H4616 of Your lovingkindness ^H2617.
