Psalms 44:3-23

³For the children of Israel wielded the land not by their sword; and the arm of them saved not them. But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the lightening of thy cheer; for thou were pleased in them.

⁴Thou art thyself, my king, and my God; that sendest healths to Jacob.

⁵By thee we shall winnow our enemies with the horn; and in thy name we shall despise them, that rise against us.

⁶For I shall not hope in my bow; and my sword shall not save me.

⁷For thou hast saved us from men tormenting us; and thou hast shamed men hating us.

⁸We shall be pleased in God all day; and in thy name we shall acknowledge to thee into the world.

⁹But now thou hast put us aback, and hast shamed us; and thou, Lord, shalt not go out in our virtues.

¹⁰Thou hast turned us away behind after our enemies; and they, that hated us, ravished diversely to themselves.

¹¹Thou hast given us as sheep of meats; and among heathen men thou hast scattered us.

¹²Thou hast sold thy people without price; and multitude there was not in the exchangings of them.

¹³Thou hast set or put us as a shame to our neighbours; mocking and scorn to them that be in our compass.

¹⁴Thou hast set or put us into like-ness to heathen men; and wagging of the head among peoples.

¹⁵All day my shame is against me; and the shame of my face covered me.

¹⁶From the voice of the despiser, and evil speaker; from the face of the enemy, and the pursuer.

¹⁷All these things came on us, and we have not forgotten thee; and we did not wickedly in thy testament.

¹⁸And our heart went not away behind; and thou hast not bowed away our paths from thy way.

¹⁹For thou hast made us low in the place of torment; and the shadow of death covered us.

²⁰If we forgat the name of our God; and if we held forth our hands to an alien God.

²¹Whether God shall not seek these things? for he knoweth the hid things of heart.

²²For why we be slain all day for thee; we be deemed as sheep of slaying.

²³Lord, rise up, why sleepest thou? rise up, and put not us away into the end.
