Chapter 44
Psal Darby 44:1  OGod, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, the work thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old:
Psal Darby 44:2  Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.
Psal Darby 44:3  For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
Psal Darby 44:4  Thou thyself art my king, OGod: command deliverance for Jacob.
Psal Darby 44:5  Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
Psal Darby 44:6  For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
Psal Darby 44:7  For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
Psal Darby 44:8  InGod will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.
Psal Darby 44:9  But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;
Psal Darby 44:10  Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;
Psal Darby 44:11  Thou hast given us over like sheep [appointed] for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;
Psal Darby 44:12  Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price;
Psal Darby 44:13  Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;
Psal Darby 44:14  Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Psal Darby 44:15  All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
Psal Darby 44:16  Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
Psal Darby 44:17  All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:
Psal Darby 44:18  Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;
Psal Darby 44:19  Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Psal Darby 44:20  If we had forgotten the name of ourGod, and stretched out our hands to a strangegod,
Psal Darby 44:21  Would notGod search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Psal Darby 44:22  But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
Psal Darby 44:23  Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
Psal Darby 44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Psal Darby 44:25  For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
Psal Darby 44:26  Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.
