Psalms44

Come to Our Help

Psa 44:1  To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. 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. 

Psa 44:2  How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 

Psa 44:3  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. 

Psa 44:4  Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 

Psa 44:5  Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 

Psa 44:6  For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 

Psa 44:7  But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 

Psa 44:8  In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 

Psa 44:9  But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 

Psa 44:10  Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 

Psa 44:11  Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 

Psa 44:12  Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 

Psa 44:13  Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 

Psa 44:14  Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 

Psa 44:15  My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 

Psa 44:16  For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 

Psa 44:17  All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 

Psa 44:18  Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 

Psa 44:19  Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 

Psa 44:20  If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 

Psa 44:21  Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 

Psa 44:22  Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 

Psa 44:23  Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 

Psa 44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 

Psa 44:25  For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 

Psa 44:26  Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
