Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 44 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

1. We have heard it with our ears, O God;our ancestors have told uswhat you did in their days,in days long ago.

2. With your hand you drove out the nationsand planted our ancestors;you crushed the peoplesand made our ancestors flourish.

3. It was not by their sword that they won the land,nor did their arm bring them victory;it was your right hand, your arm,and the light of your face, for you loved them.

4. You are my King and my God,who decrees victories for Jacob.

5. Through you we push back our enemies;through your name we trample our foes.

6. I put no trust in my bow,my sword does not bring me victory;

7. but you give us victory over our enemies,you put our adversaries to shame.

8. In God we make our boast all day long,and we will praise your name for ever.

9. But now you have rejected and humbled us;you no longer go out with our armies.

10. You made us retreat before the enemy,and our adversaries have plundered us.

11. You gave us up to be devoured like sheepand have scattered us among the nations.

12. You sold your people for a pittance,gaining nothing from their sale.

13. You have made us a reproach to our neighbours,the scorn and derision of those around us.

14. You have made us a byword among the nations;the peoples shake their heads at us.

15. I live in disgrace all day long,and my face is covered with shame

16. at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me,because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.

17. All this came upon us,though we had not forgotten you;we had not been false to your covenant.

18. Our hearts had not turned back;our feet had not strayed from your path.

19. But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals;you covered us over with deep darkness.

20. If we had forgotten the name of our Godor spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21. would not God have discovered it,since he knows the secrets of the heart?

22. Yet for your sake we face death all day long;we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23. Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?Rouse yourself ! Do not reject us for ever.

24. Why do you hide your faceand forget our misery and oppression?

25. We are brought down to the dust;our bodies cling to the ground.

26. Rise up and help us;rescue us because of your unfailing love.
