Psal AFV2020 44:1  To the Chief Musician. A contemplation for the sons of Korah.We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work which You did in their days, in the days of old.
Psal AFV2020 44:2  You drove out the nations with Your hand and planted them; You did afflict the people and cast them out,
Psal AFV2020 44:3  For not by their own sword did they possess the land, neither did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance because You favored them.
Psal AFV2020 44:4  You are my King, O God; command deliverance for Jacob.

Psal AFV2020 44:14  You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.
Psal AFV2020 44:15  My confusion is before me all day long, and the shame of my face has covered me
Psal AFV2020 44:16  Because of the voice of him who slanders and reviles, and because of the enemy and avenger.

Psal AFV2020 44:18  Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps turned aside from Your way,

Psal AFV2020 44:20  If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god,
Psal AFV2020 44:21  Shall not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
Psal AFV2020 44:22  Yea, for Your sake we are put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
