A Contemplation for the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.<br \/>\nPsa 44:2  You drove out nations with Your hand and planted them. You brought evil on peoples and sent them out.<br \/>\nPsa 44:3  For they did not inherit the land with their own sword; yea, their own arm did not save them. But it was Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your face, because You favored them.<br \/>\nPsa 44:4  You are He, my King, O God; command deliverances for Jacob.<br \/>\nPsa 44:5  Through You we will push our enemies; through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.<br \/>\nPsa 44:6  For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.<br \/>\nPsa 44:7  But You have saved us from our adversaries and have put to shame those who hate us.<br \/>\nPsa 44:8  We boast in God all the day; and we praise Your name forever. Selah.<br \/>\nPsa 44:9  Now You have cast us off and have shamed us. And You do not go forth with our armies.<br \/>\nPsa 44:10  You make us turn back from the oppressor; yea, those hating us plunder for themselves.<br \/>\nPsa 44:11  You have given us like sheep for food and have scattered us among the nations.<br \/>\nPsa 44:12  For no gain You have sold Your people, and You are not increased by their price.<br \/>\nPsa 44:13  You made us a disgrace to our neighbors, a scorn and a mockery to those around us.<br \/>\nPsa 44:14  You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.<br \/>\nPsa 44:15  My humiliation is before me all the day; yea, the shame of my face covers me,<br \/>\nPsa 44:16  because of the slanderer&#8217;s voice and the blasphemer, before the face of the enemy and avenger.<br \/>\nPsa 44:17  All this has come upon us, and we have not forgotten You nor dealt falsely with Your covenant.<br \/>\nPsa 44:18  Our heart has not turned back, and our steps have not swerved from Your way,<br \/>\nPsa 44:19  though You have crushed us in the place of jackals and covered us over with the death-shade.<br \/>\nPsa 44:20  If we have forgotten the name of our God, and have spread our hands to an alien god,<br \/>\nPsa 44:21  shall not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.<br \/>\nPsa 44:22  Yea, for Your sake we are slain all the day; we are counted as sheep of slaughter.<br \/>\nPsa 44:23  Be aroused! Why do You sleep, O God? Awake! Do not cast us off forever.<br \/>\nPsa 44:24  Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and distress?<br \/>\nPsa 44:25  For our soul bows down to the dust; our belly holds fast to the earth.<br \/>\nPsa 44:26  Arise for our help and redeem us for the sake of Your mercy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psa 44:1 To the chief musician.
