ABP - Psalms - 44

44:1  O God, [2with 3our ears 1we heard], and our fathers announced to us the work which you worked in their days, in [2days 1ancient].

44:2  Your hand [2nations 1utterly destroyed], and planted them. You afflicted peoples and cast them out.

44:3  For not by their broadsword they inherited the land, and their arm did not deliver them; but it was your right hand, and your arm, and the illumination of your countenance, for you thought well by them.

44:4  You are he, O my king and my God, the one giving charge to the deliverances of Jacob.

44:5  In you [2our enemies 1we will gore], and in your name we will treat with contempt the ones rising up against us.

44:6  For not upon my bow will I hope; and my broadsword will not deliver me.

44:7  For he delivered us from the ones afflicting us; and the ones detesting us he disgraced.

44:8  In God we will be praised the entire day; and in your name we will make acknowledgment into the eon.

44:9  But now you thrusted away, and disgraced us; and you shall not go forth, O God, with our forces.

44:10  You turned us to the rear by our enemies; and the ones detesting us plundered for themselves.

44:11  You gave us as sheep for food; and among the nations you scattered us.

44:12  You rendered your people without a value; and there was no abundance by their shout.

44:13  You put us for scorn to our neighbors; for a sneering and a taunting to the ones round about us.

44:14  You put us as a parable among the nations; a shaking of the head among the peoples.

44:15  [5the entire 6day 1My being made ashamed 3in front 4of me 2is], and the shame of my face covered me;

44:16  even from the voice of the one berating and speaking improperly from in front of the enemy and the one banishing.

44:17  All these things came upon us, but we did not forget you; and we did not do wrong by your covenant;

44:18  and we did not leave [2to 3the 4rear 1our heart], nor turned aside our paths from your way.

44:19  For you humbled us in the place of affliction; and [3covered over 4us 1the shadow 2of death].

44:20  If we forgot the name of our God, and if we opened and spread out our hands to [2god 1an alien],

44:21  shall not God require these things? For he knows the secret things of the heart.

44:22  For because of you we are being put to death the entire day; we are considered as sheep for slaughter.

44:23  Awaken! Why do you sleep, O lord? Rise up! and you should not thrust us away unto the end.

44:24  Why [3your face 1do you 2turn] and forget our poorness and our affliction?

44:25  For [2was humbled 3into 4the dust 1our soul]; [2was cleaved 3to 4the earth 1our belly].

44:26  Rise up, O lord, help us and ransom us because of your name!
