Psalm 44 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 44

44:1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,

what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

44:2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst

them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,

neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine

arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour

unto them.

44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will

we tread them under that rise up against us.

44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to

shame that hated us.

44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

Selah.

44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth

with our armies.

44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate

us spoil for themselves.

44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast

scattered us among the heathen.

44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy

wealth by their price.

44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a

derision to them that are round about us.

44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head

among the people.

44:15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face

hath covered me,

44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason

of the enemy and avenger.

44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,

neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined

from thy way;

44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and

covered us with the shadow of death.

44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our

hands to a strange god;

44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the

heart.

44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted

as sheep for the slaughter.

44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for

ever.

44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction

and our oppression?

44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto

the earth.

44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
