Mga Awit 44
Ang Biblia, 2001
Panalangin para sa Pag-iingat
Sa Punong Mang-aawit. Isang Maskil ng mga Anak ni Kora.
44 Narinig ng aming mga tainga, O Diyos,
    isinaysay sa amin ng aming mga ninuno,
kung anong mga gawa ang iyong ginawa nang panahon nila,
    nang mga unang araw:
2 sa pamamagitan ng iyong kamay itinaboy mo ang mga bansa,
    ngunit itinanim mo sila;
iyong pinarusahan ang mga bayan,
    at iyong ikinalat sila.
3 Sapagkat hindi nila pinagwagian ang lupain sa pamamagitan ng kanilang sariling tabak,
    ni ang sarili nilang kamay ay nagbigay sa kanila ng tagumpay;
kundi ng iyong kanang kamay, at ng iyong bisig,
    at ng liwanag ng iyong mukha,
    sapagkat ikaw ay nalulugod sa kanila.
4 Ikaw ang aking Hari at aking Diyos,
    na nag-utos ng kaligtasan para kay Jacob.
5 Sa pamamagitan mo'y itutulak namin ang aming mga kaaway:
    sa pamamagitan ng iyong pangalan ay tatapakan namin ang mga sumasalakay sa amin.
6 Sapagkat hindi ako magtitiwala sa aking pana,
    ni ililigtas man ako ng aking tabak.
7 Ngunit iniligtas mo kami sa aming mga kaaway,
    at ang mga napopoot sa amin ay inilagay mo sa kahihiyan.
8 Sa pamamagitan ng Diyos ay patuloy kaming nagmamalaki,
at sa iyong pangalan magpakailanman ay magpapasalamat kami. (Selah)
9 Gayunma'y itinakuwil at kasiraang-puri sa amin ay ibinigay mo,
    at hindi ka lumalabas na kasama ng aming mga hukbo.
10 Pinatalikod mo kami sa kaaway;
    at silang mga galit sa amin ay kumuha ng samsam para sa kanilang sarili.
11 Ibinigay mo kami upang kainin na parang tupa,
    at ikinalat mo kami sa mga bansa.
12 Ipinagbili mo ang iyong bayan sa napakaliit na halaga,
    at hindi humingi ng malaking halaga para sa kanila.
13 Ginawa mo kaming katatawanan ng aming mga kapwa,
    ang tudyuhan at paglibak ng mga nasa palibot namin.
14 Sa gitna ng mga bansa'y ginawa mo kaming kawikaan,
    isang bagay na pinagtatawanan ng mga bayan.
15 Buong araw ay nasa harapan ko ang aking kasiraang-puri,
    at ang kahihiyan ay tumakip sa aking mukha,
16 dahil sa tinig niya na nang-uuyam at nanlalait,
    dahil sa paningin ng kaaway at naghihiganti.
17 Lahat ng ito'y dumating sa amin;
    bagaman hindi ka namin kinalimutan,
    at hindi kami gumagawa ng kamalian sa iyong tipan.
18 Ang aming puso ay hindi tumalikod,
    ni ang amin mang mga hakbang ay humiwalay sa iyong daan;
19 upang kami ay iyong durugin sa lugar ng mga asong-gubat,
    at tinakpan mo kami ng anino ng kamatayan.
20 Kung aming kinalimutan ang pangalan ng aming Diyos,
    o iniunat ang aming mga kamay sa ibang diyos;
21 hindi ba ito'y matutuklasan ng Diyos?
    Sapagkat nalalaman niya ang mga lihim ng puso.
22 Dahil(A) sa iyo ay pinapatay kami buong araw;
    at itinuturing na parang mga tupa para sa katayan.
23 Ikaw ay bumangon! Bakit ka natutulog, O Panginoon?
    Gumising ka! Huwag mo kaming itakuwil magpakailanman.
24 Bakit mo ikinukubli ang iyong mukha?
    Bakit mo kinalilimutan ang aming kalungkutan at kapighatian?
25 Sapagkat ang aming kaluluwa ay nakasubsob sa alabok;
    ang aming katawan ay dumidikit sa lupa.
26 Ikaw ay bumangon, tulungan mo kami!
    Iligtas mo kami alang-alang sa iyong tapat na pag-ibig!
Psalm 44
New International Version
Psalm 44[a]
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.[b]
1 We have heard it with our ears,(A) O God;
    our ancestors have told us(B)
what you did in their days,
    in days long ago.(C)
2 With your hand you drove out(D) the nations
    and planted(E) our ancestors;
you crushed(F) the peoples
    and made our ancestors flourish.(G)
3 It was not by their sword(H) that they won the land,
    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(I) your arm,(J)
    and the light(K) of your face, for you loved(L) them.
4 You are my King(M) and my God,(N)
    who decrees[c] victories(O) for Jacob.
5 Through you we push back(P) our enemies;
    through your name we trample(Q) our foes.
6 I put no trust in my bow,(R)
    my sword does not bring me victory;
7 but you give us victory(S) over our enemies,
    you put our adversaries to shame.(T)
8 In God we make our boast(U) all day long,(V)
    and we will praise your name forever.[d](W)
9 But now you have rejected(X) and humbled us;(Y)
    you no longer go out with our armies.(Z)
10 You made us retreat(AA) before the enemy,
    and our adversaries have plundered(AB) us.
11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep(AC)
    and have scattered us among the nations.(AD)
12 You sold your people for a pittance,(AE)
    gaining nothing from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach(AF) to our neighbors,(AG)
    the scorn(AH) and derision(AI) of those around us.
14 You have made us a byword(AJ) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads(AK) at us.
15 I live in disgrace(AL) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame(AM)
16 at the taunts(AN) of those who reproach and revile(AO) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.(AP)
17 All this came upon us,
    though we had not forgotten(AQ) you;
    we had not been false to your covenant.
18 Our hearts had not turned(AR) back;
    our feet had not strayed from your path.
19 But you crushed(AS) us and made us a haunt for jackals;(AT)
    you covered us over with deep darkness.(AU)
20 If we had forgotten(AV) the name of our God
    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,(AW)
21 would not God have discovered it,
    since he knows the secrets of the heart?(AX)
22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep(AY) to be slaughtered.(AZ)

Psalm 44
King James Version
44 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
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.
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.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, 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 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
