Tehillim 44:3-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. (4) For they got not eretz in possession by their own cherev, neither did their own zero'a save them, but Thy Yamin (Right Hand), and Thine Zero'a, and the ohr (light) of Thy countenance, because Thou favored them.

4. (5) Thou art my Melech, O Elohim; command yeshu'ot (deliverances) for Ya'akov.

5. (6) Through Thee will we push down our enemies; through Thy Shem will we trample them under that rise up against us.

6. (7) For I will not trust in my keshet (bow), neither shall my cherev save me.

7. (8) But Thou hast saved us from tzareinu (our enemies), and hast put them to shame that hated us.

8. (9) In Elohim we boast kol hayom, and praise Thy Shem l'olam (forever). Selah.

9. (10) But Thou hast cast off, and disgraced us; and goest not forth with tzivoteinu (our armies).

10. (11) Thou makest us to turn back from before the tzar (enemy); and they which hate us have taken plunder for themselves.

11. (12) Thou hast given us up like tzon appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the Goyim.

12. (13) Thou sellest Amecha (Thy People) for a mere nothing, and art not enriched by their price.

13. (14) Thou makest us a cherpah (reproach) to our shchenim (neighbors), a scorn and a derision to them that are all around us.

14. (15) Thou makest us a mashal (byword) among the Goyim, a shaking of the rosh among the peoples.

15. (16) Kol hayom my dishonor is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

16. (17) At the voice of him that reproacheth and revileth; by reason of the oyev (enemy) and avenger.
