44 Narinig namin ng aming mga pakinig, Oh Dios, isinaysay sa amin ng aming mga magulang, kung anong gawa ang iyong ginawa sa kanilang mga kaarawan, ng mga kaarawan ng una.

Iyong itinaboy ng iyong kamay ang mga bansa, nguni't itinatag mo sila; iyong dinalamhati ang mga bayan, nguni't iyong pinangalat sila.

Sapagka't hindi nila tinamo ang lupain na pinakaari sa pamamagitan ng kanilang sariling tabak, ni iniligtas man sila ng kanilang sariling kamay: kundi ng iyong kanan, at ng iyong bisig, at ng liwanag ng iyong mukha, sapagka't iyong nilingap sila.

Ikaw ang aking Hari, Oh Dios: magutos ka ng kaligtasan sa Jacob.

Dahil sa iyo'y itutulak namin ang aming mga kaaway: sa iyong pangalan ay yayapakan namin sila na nagsisibangon laban sa amin.

Sapagka't hindi ako titiwala sa aking busog, ni ililigtas man ako ng aking tabak.

Nguni't iniligtas mo kami sa aming mga kaaway, at inilagay mo sila sa kahihiyan na nangagtatanim sa amin.

Sa Dios ay naghahambog kami buong araw, at mangagpapasalamat kami sa iyong pangalan magpakailan man. (Selah)

Nguni't ngayo'y itinakuwil mo kami, at inilagay mo kami sa kasiraang puri; at hindi ka lumalabas na kasama ng aming mga hukbo.

10 Iyong pinatatalikod kami sa kaaway: at silang nangagtatanim sa amin ay nagsisisamsam ng sa ganang kanilang sarili.

11 Iyong ibinigay kaming gaya ng mga tupa na pinaka pagkain; at pinangalat mo kami sa mga bansa.

12 Iyong ipinagbibili ang iyong bayan na walang bayad, at hindi mo pinalago ang iyong kayamanan sa pamamagitan ng kanilang halaga.

13 Ginawa mo kaming katuyaan sa aming mga kapuwa, isang kasabihan at kadustaan nila na nangasa palibot namin.

14 Iyong ginawa kaming kawikaan sa gitna ng mga bansa, at kaugaan ng ulo sa gitna ng mga bayan.

15 Buong araw ay nasa harap ko ang aking kasiraang puri, at ang kahihiyan ng aking mukha ay tumakip sa akin,

16 Dahil sa tinig niya na dumuduwahagi at tumutungayaw; dahil sa kaaway at sa manghihiganti.

17 Lahat ng ito'y dumating sa amin; gayon ma'y hindi namin kinalimutan ka, ni gumawa man kami na may karayaan sa iyong tipan.

18 Ang aming puso ay hindi tumalikod, ni ang amin mang mga hakbang ay humiwalay sa iyong daan;

19 Na kami ay iyong lubhang nilansag sa dako ng mga chakal, at tinakpan mo kami ng lilim ng kamatayan.

20 Kung aming nilimot ang pangalan ng aming Dios, O aming iniunat ang aming mga kamay sa ibang dios;

21 Hindi ba sisiyasatin ito ng Dios? Sapagka't nalalaman niya ang mga lihim ng puso.

22 Oo, dahil sa iyo ay pinapatay kami buong araw; kami ay nabilang na parang mga tupa sa patayan.

23 Ikaw ay gumising, bakit ka natutulog, Oh Panginoon? Ikaw ay bumangon, huwag mo kaming itakuwil magpakailan man.

24 Bakit mo ikinukubli ang iyong mukha, at kinalilimutan mo ang aming kadalamhatian at aming kapighatian?

25 Sapagka't ang aming kaluluwa ay nakasubsob sa alabok: ang aming katawan ay nadidikit sa lupa.

26 Ikaw ay bumangon upang kami ay tulungan, at tubusin mo kami dahil sa iyong kagandahang-loob.

44 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.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

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.

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

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

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

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

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

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

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

26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

Psalm 44[a]

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.[b]

We have heard it with our ears,(A) O God;
    our ancestors have told us(B)
what you did in their days,
    in days long ago.(C)
With your hand you drove out(D) the nations
    and planted(E) our ancestors;
you crushed(F) the peoples
    and made our ancestors flourish.(G)
It was not by their sword(H) that they won the land,
    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(I) your arm,(J)
    and the light(K) of your face, for you loved(L) them.

You are my King(M) and my God,(N)
    who decrees[c] victories(O) for Jacob.
Through you we push back(P) our enemies;
    through your name we trample(Q) our foes.
I put no trust in my bow,(R)
    my sword does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory(S) over our enemies,
    you put our adversaries to shame.(T)
In God we make our boast(U) all day long,(V)
    and we will praise your name forever.[d](W)

But now you have rejected(X) and humbled us;(Y)
    you no longer go out with our armies.(Z)
10 You made us retreat(AA) before the enemy,
    and our adversaries have plundered(AB) us.
11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep(AC)
    and have scattered us among the nations.(AD)
12 You sold your people for a pittance,(AE)
    gaining nothing from their sale.

13 You have made us a reproach(AF) to our neighbors,(AG)
    the scorn(AH) and derision(AI) of those around us.
14 You have made us a byword(AJ) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads(AK) at us.
15 I live in disgrace(AL) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame(AM)
16 at the taunts(AN) of those who reproach and revile(AO) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.(AP)

17 All this came upon us,
    though we had not forgotten(AQ) you;
    we had not been false to your covenant.
18 Our hearts had not turned(AR) back;
    our feet had not strayed from your path.
19 But you crushed(AS) us and made us a haunt for jackals;(AT)
    you covered us over with deep darkness.(AU)

20 If we had forgotten(AV) the name of our God
    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,(AW)
21 would not God have discovered it,
    since he knows the secrets of the heart?(AX)
22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep(AY) to be slaughtered.(AZ)

23 Awake,(BA) Lord! Why do you sleep?(BB)
    Rouse yourself!(BC) Do not reject us forever.(BD)
24 Why do you hide your face(BE)
    and forget(BF) our misery and oppression?(BG)

25 We are brought down to the dust;(BH)
    our bodies cling to the ground.
26 Rise up(BI) and help us;
    rescue(BJ) us because of your unfailing love.(BK)
