Psalms 44:7-16 in English

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.

¹³ Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.

¹⁴ Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵ All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me,

¹⁶ For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger.

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.

¹³ And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.

¹⁴ All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed as she is in golden fringed garments,

¹⁵ in embroidered clothing: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.

¹⁶ They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

¹³ All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed as she is in golden fringed garments,

¹⁴ in embroidered clothing: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you.

¹⁵ They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

¹⁶ Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth.

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 dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts.

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.

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

¹⁴ Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵ All the day long is my dishonour before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

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

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!

¹³ People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.

¹⁴ They make jokes using the name of our country, they shake their heads to indicate that they despise us.

¹⁵ All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.

¹⁶ I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.

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.

¹³ All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed as she is in golden fringed garments,

¹⁴ in embroidered clothing: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you.

¹⁵ They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

¹⁶ Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth.

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.

¹³ You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

¹⁴ You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵ All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,

¹⁶ at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.

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.

¹³ You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

¹⁴ You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵ All day long my dishonour is before me, and shame covers my face,

¹⁶ at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.

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.

¹³ You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.

¹⁴ Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.

¹⁵ My downfall is ever before me, and I am covered with the shame of my face;

¹⁶ Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

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;

¹³ Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;

¹⁴ Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵ All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

¹⁶ Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.

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.

¹³ And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.

¹⁴ All the glory of the king’s daughter is within in golden borders,

¹⁵ Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.

¹⁶ They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.

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.

¹³ You have made a mockery of us before our neighbors, we are ridiculed and laughed at by those around us.

¹⁴ You have made us a joke to the other nations; they scornfully shake their heads at us.

¹⁵ We are humiliated all day long; we hold our heads in shame,

¹⁶ because of all the insults from the people mocking us, because our vengeful enemies are right in front of us.

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.

¹³ Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.

¹⁴ Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.

¹⁵ My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,

¹⁶ For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.

⁷ (44-8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

¹⁴ (44-15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁶ (44-17) For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.

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.

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

⁹ (44:10) But now thou hast cast off, and put us to the blush, and goest not forth with our armies.

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.

¹³ (44:14) Thou renderest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.

¹⁴ (44:15) Thou renderest us a by-word among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.

¹⁵ (44:16) All the day is my disgrace before me, and the shame of my face covereth me;

¹⁶ (44:17) Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.

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.

¹³ And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; The rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favor.

¹⁵ in embroidered clothing: Virgins shall be brought to the king after her: Her fellows shall be brought to thee.

¹⁶ They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: They shall be led into the king’s temple.

⁷ But it is thou only who savest us from our enemies, And puttest to shame those who hate us!

¹⁶ On account of the voice of the scoffer and the reviler, And on account of the enemy and the avenger.

⁷ Our victory comes from you, and confusion to those who hate us.

⁸ In God we boast all the day long, and your name will we praise forever. Selah

¹³ Thou hast set us (as a) shame to our neighbours; mocking and scorn to them that be in our compass. (Thou hast made us a shame, or a reproach, to our neighbours; a mockery, and scorned by those who be all around us.)

¹⁴ Thou hast set us into likeness to heathen men; and stirring of the head/and wagging of (the) head among peoples. (Thou hast made us into a likeness, or a byword, to the heathen; and they shook their heads over us among the nations.)

¹⁵ All day my shame is against me; and the shame of my face covered me. (All day long my shame is before me; and the shame on my face covered me.)

¹⁶ From the voice of the despiser, and evil speaker; from the face of the enemy, and the pursuer. (From the voice of him who despiseth, and speaketh evil; from before the enemy, and the pursuer.)

⁷ For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame.

⁸ In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.

⁹ In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.

¹⁰ Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.

¹¹ Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou hast scattered us.

¹² Thou sellest Thy people — without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.

¹³ Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.

¹⁴ Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.

¹⁵ All the day my confusion is before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.

¹⁶ Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
