Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

44:1	To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds thou didst perform in their days, in the days of old:
44:2	thou with thy own hand didst drive out the nations, but them thou didst plant;thou didst afflict the peoples, but them thou didst set free;
44:3	for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm give them victory;but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance;for thou didst delight in them.
44:4	Thou art my King and my God, who ordainest victories for Jacob.
44:5	Through thee we push down our foes;through thy name we tread down our assailants.
44:6	For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.
44:7	But thou hast saved us from our foes, and hast put to confusion those who hate us.
44:8	In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]
44:9	Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.
44:10	Thou hast made us turn back from the foe;and our enemies have gotten spoil.
44:11	Thou hast made us like sheep for slaughter, and hast scattered us among the nations.
44:12	Thou hast sold thy people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.
44:13	Thou hast made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those about us.
44:14	Thou hast made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
44:15	All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
44:16	at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.
44:17	All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten thee, or been false to thy covenant.
44:18	Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from thy way,
44:19	that thou shouldst have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness.
44:20	If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god,
44:21	would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
44:22	Nay, for thy sake we are slain all the day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
44:23	Rouse thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever!
44:24	Why dost thou hide thy face? Why dost thou forget our affliction and oppression?
44:25	For our soul is bowed down to the dust;our body cleaves to the ground.
44:26	Rise up, come to our help! Deliver us for the sake of thy steadfast love!
44:27
