Psalm 44:1-26 MEV

[1] We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us what work You did in their days, in the days of old: [2] how You drove out the nations with Your hand, and planted others instead; how You afflicted peoples, and sent them away. [3] For they did not take possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You had favor on them. [4] You are my King, O God; command deliverances for Jacob. [5] Through You we will push down our opponents; through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. [6] For I will not trust in my bow, nor will my sword save me. [7] But You have saved us from our opponents, and have put to shame those who hate us. [8] In God we boast all the day long, and give thanks to Your name forever. Selah [9] But You have rejected us and put us to shame, and do not go out with our armies. [10] You make us to turn back from the opponent, and those who hate us make us their spoil. [11] You have placed us like sheep for prey, and have scattered us among the nations. [12] You sell Your people for nothing, and do not increase Your wealth by their sale. [13] You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those who surround us. [14] You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people. [15] All day long my reproach is before me, and the shame of my face covers me, [16] from the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, by reason of the enemy and avenger. [17] All this is come on us, yet we have not forgotten You, nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant. [18] Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps deviated from Your way, [19] though You have crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death. [20] If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god, [21] would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart. [22] Yes, for Your sake we are killed all the day long; we are considered like sheep for the slaughter. [23] Awake; why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise; do not reject us forever. [24] Why do You hide Your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression? [25] For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the earth. [26] Arise, be our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness.
