Chapter 44
Psal Rotherha 44:1  O God! with our own ears, have we heard, Our fathers, have recounted to us,—The work thou didst work, In their day, In the days of aforetime:
Psal Rotherha 44:2  Thou thyself, with thine own hand—Didst dispossess, nations, and didst plant them, Didst break peoples in pieces, and didst spread them out:
Psal Rotherha 44:3  For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them,—But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.
Psal Rotherha 44:4  Thou thyself, art my king, O God, Command thou the victories of Jacob.
Psal Rotherha 44:5  By thee, will we thrust at, our adversaries, In thy Name, will we tread down our assailants;
Psal Rotherha 44:6  For, not in my bow, will I trust, Nor shall, my sword, give me victory;
Psal Rotherha 44:7  For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.
Psal Rotherha 44:8  In God, have we boasted all the day, And, thy Name—unto times age-abiding, will we praise. [Selah.]
Psal Rotherha 44:9  But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;
Psal Rotherha 44:10  Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:
Psal Rotherha 44:11  Thou dost give us up like sheep to be devoured, And, amongst the nations, hast thou scattered us.
Psal Rotherha 44:12  Thou dost sell thy people for, no-value, And hast not made increase by their price.
Psal Rotherha 44:13  Thou dost make us, A reproach to our neighbours, A mockery and a derision to them who are round about us:
Psal Rotherha 44:14  Thou dost make us, A by-word among the nations,—A shaking of the head among the peoples.
Psal Rotherha 44:15  All the day, is my confusion before me, And, the shame of my face, hath covered me:
Psal Rotherha 44:16  At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.
Psal Rotherha 44:17  All this, hath come upon us, Yet had we not forgotten thee, Neither had we dealt falsely with thy covenant;
Psal Rotherha 44:18  Our heart had not drawn back, Nor had our goings swerved from thy path;
Psal Rotherha 44:19  That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.
Psal Rotherha 44:20  If we had forgotten the Name of our God, And had spread forth our hands unto the GOD of the foreigner,
Psal Rotherha 44:21  Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?
Psal Rotherha 44:22  Surely, for thy sake, have we been slain all the day, We have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.
Psal Rotherha 44:23  Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!
Psal Rotherha 44:24  Wherefore shouldst thou hide, thy face? Shouldst forget our humiliation and our oppression?
Psal Rotherha 44:25  For our soul, sinketh down to the dust, Our body, cleaveth to the earth.
Psal Rotherha 44:26  Arise to our help, And ransom us, because of thine own lovingkindness.
