# Psalm 44 (New King James Version)
Redemption Remembered in Present Dishonor
##### Chapter 44
###### 1 We have heard with our ears, O God,
Our fathers have told us,
The deeds You did in their days,
In days of old:
###### 2 You drove out the nations with Your hand,
But them You planted;
You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
###### 3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
Because You favored them.
###### 4 You are my King, O God;
Command victories for Jacob.
###### 5 Through You we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
###### 6 For I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.
###### 7 But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.
###### 8 In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. _Selah_
###### 9 But You have cast _us_ off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.
###### 10 You make us turn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
###### 11 You have given us up like sheep _intended_ for food,
And have scattered us among the nations.
###### 12 You sell Your people for _next to_ nothing,
And are not enriched by selling them.
###### 13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
###### 14 You make us a byword among the nations,
A shaking of the head among the peoples.
###### 15 My dishonor _is_ continually before me,
And the shame of my face has covered me,
###### 16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
Because of the enemy and the avenger.
###### 17 All this has come upon us;
But we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.
###### 18 Our heart has not turned back,
Nor have our steps departed from Your way;
###### 19 But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals,
And covered us with the shadow of death.
###### 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,
Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,
###### 21 Would not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.
###### 22 Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
###### 23 Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast _us_ off forever.
###### 24 Why do You hide Your face,
_And_ forget our affliction and our oppression?
###### 25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust;
Our body clings to the ground.
###### 26 Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies' sake.
