Psalms 44:6-12 in English

⁶ For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.

⁷ But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸ In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah

⁹ But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

¹⁰ Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.

¹¹ Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food, And hast scattered us among the nations.

¹² Thou sellest thy people for nought, And hast not increased thy wealth by their price.

⁶ Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) they are in the heart of the king's enemies.

⁷ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

⁸ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.

⁹ Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from thy garments, and out of the ivory palaces,

¹⁰ with which kings' daughters have gladdened thee for thine honour: the queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in divers colours.

¹¹ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.

¹² Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁶ Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

⁷ You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows.

⁸ Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from your garments, and out of the ivory palaces,

⁹ with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honor: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in various colors.

¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.

¹¹ Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favor.

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

⁷ But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸ In God have we made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah

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

¹¹ Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the nations.

¹² Thou sellest thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price.

⁶ I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow and arrows and my sword.

⁷ No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed because they were defeated.

⁸ We have continually boasted about what God has done for us, and we will thank him MTY forever.

⁹ But now you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out to fight a battle, you no longer go with them.

¹⁰ You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.

¹¹ You have allowed us to become like MET sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us far away among other nations.

¹² It is as though MET you sold us, your people, to our enemies for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!

⁶ Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

⁷ You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows.

⁸ Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from your garments, and out of the ivory palaces,

⁹ with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honour: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in various colours.

¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.

¹¹ Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favour.

⁶ For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.

⁷ But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

⁸ In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

⁹ But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

¹⁰ You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.

¹¹ You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

¹² You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

⁶ For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.

⁷ But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

⁸ In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

¹¹ You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us amongst the nations.

¹² You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

⁶ I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation.

⁷ But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

⁸ Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

⁹ But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.

¹⁰ Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

¹¹ You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.

¹² You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.

⁶ For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

⁷ For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸ In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.

⁹ But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;

¹⁰ Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;

¹¹ Thou hast given us over like sheep appointed for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;

¹² Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price;

⁶ Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king’s enemies.

⁷ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.

⁸ Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

⁹ Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which

¹⁰ The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.

¹¹ Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father’s house.

¹² And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.

⁶ I do not trust my bow; I do not have confidence in my sword to save me.

⁷ You are the one who saves us from our enemies; you defeat those who hate us.

⁸ God, we proudly thank you all day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.

⁹ But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you no longer accompany our armies.

¹⁰ You made us run from our enemies, and those who hate us have taken whatever they wanted.

¹¹ You have handed us over like sheep to be slaughtered; you have scattered us among the other nations.

¹² You have sold your own people for next to nothing, making no profit on the sale.

⁶ For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.

⁷ But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.

⁸ Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. Selah.

⁹ But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.

¹⁰ Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.

¹¹ Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.

¹² Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.

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

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.

⁸ (44:9) Of God we boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. Selah.

¹⁰ (44:11) Thou causest us to turn back from before our assailant: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.

¹¹ (44:12) Thou givest us up like sheep for food, and among the nations hast thou dispersed us.

¹² (44:13) Thou sellest thy people for no value, and acquirest no gain by their price.

⁶ Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One (The nations shall fall under thee); They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.

⁷ Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.

⁸ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee With the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.

⁹ Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from thy garments, And out of the ivory palaces,

¹⁰ With which kings’ daughters have gladdened thee for thine honor: The queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, And arrayed in diverse colors.

¹¹ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; Forget also thy people, and thy father’s house.

¹² Because the king has desired thy beauty; For he is thy Lord.
