1(44-1) For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. (44-2) O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
2(44-3) Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
3(44-4) For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
4(44-5) Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
5(44-6) Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
6(44-7) For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
7(44-8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
8(44-9) In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
9(44-10) Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
10(44-11) Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
11(44-12) Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
12(44-13) Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
13(44-14) Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14(44-15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
