Salmos 44
Nueva Versión Internacional
Al director musical. Masquil de los hijos de Coré.
44 Oh Dios, nuestros oídos han oído
y nuestros antepasados nos han contado
las proezas que realizaste en sus días,
en aquellos tiempos pasados:
2 Con tu propia mano expulsaste a las naciones
y en su lugar plantaste a nuestros antepasados;
aplastaste a aquellos pueblos,
y a nuestros antepasados los hiciste prosperar.[a]
3 Porque no fue su espada la que conquistó la tierra
ni fue su brazo el que les dio la victoria:
fue tu brazo, tu mano derecha;
fue la luz de tu rostro, porque tú los amabas.
4 Solo tú eres mi Rey y mi Dios.
¡Decreta las victorias de Jacob!
5 Por ti derrotamos a nuestros enemigos;
en tu nombre aplastamos a nuestros agresores.
6 Yo no confío en mi arco
ni puede mi espada darme la victoria;
7 tú nos das la victoria sobre nuestros enemigos,
y dejas en vergüenza a nuestros adversarios.
8 ¡Por siempre nos gloriaremos en Dios!
¡Por siempre alabaremos tu nombre! Selah
9 Pero ahora nos has rechazado y humillado;
ya no sales con nuestros ejércitos.
10 Nos hiciste retroceder ante el enemigo;
nos han saqueado nuestros adversarios.
11 Nos has entregado para que nos devoren como ovejas
nos has dispersado entre las naciones.
12 Has vendido a tu pueblo por una miseria
y nada has ganado con su venta.
13 Nos has dejado en ridículo ante nuestros vecinos;
somos la burla y el escarnio de los que nos rodean.
14 Nos has hecho el hazmerreír de las naciones;
todos los pueblos se burlan de nosotros.
15 La humillación no me deja un solo instante;
se me cae la cara de vergüenza
16 por las burlas de los que me insultan y me ofenden,
por culpa del enemigo que está presto a la venganza.
17 Todo esto nos ha sucedido,
a pesar de que nunca te olvidamos
ni faltamos jamás a tu pacto.
18 Nuestro corazón no ha vuelto atrás
ni nos hemos apartado de tu senda.
19 Pero tú nos arrojaste a una cueva de chacales;
¡nos envolviste en la más tenebrosa oscuridad!
20 Si hubiéramos olvidado el nombre de nuestro Dios
o extendido nuestras manos a un dios extraño,
21 ¿acaso Dios no lo habría descubierto,
ya que él conoce los más íntimos secretos?
22 Por tu causa siempre nos llevan a la muerte;
¡nos tratan como a ovejas para el matadero!
23 ¡Despierta, Señor! ¿Por qué duermes?
¡Levántate! No nos rechaces para siempre.
24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro
y te olvidas de nuestro sufrimiento y opresión?
25 Estamos abatidos hasta el polvo;
nuestro cuerpo se arrastra por el suelo.
26 ¡Levántate, ven a ayudarnos!
¡Por tu gran amor, rescátanos!

Liberaciones pasadas y pruebas presentes
Al músico principal. Masquil de los hijos de Coré.
44 Oh Dios, con nuestros oídos hemos oído, nuestros padres nos han contado,
La obra que hiciste en sus días, en los tiempos antiguos.
2 Tú con tu mano echaste las naciones, y los plantaste a ellos;
Afligiste a los pueblos, y los arrojaste.
3 Porque no se apoderaron de la tierra por su espada,
Ni su brazo los libró;
Sino tu diestra, y tu brazo, y la luz de tu rostro,
Porque te complaciste en ellos.
4 Tú, oh Dios, eres mi rey;
Manda salvación a Jacob.
5 Por medio de ti sacudiremos a nuestros enemigos;
En tu nombre hollaremos a nuestros adversarios.
6 Porque no confiaré en mi arco,
Ni mi espada me salvará;
7 Pues tú nos has guardado de nuestros enemigos,
Y has avergonzado a los que nos aborrecían.
8 En Dios nos gloriaremos todo el tiempo,
Y para siempre alabaremos tu nombre. Selah
9 Pero nos has desechado, y nos has hecho avergonzar;
Y no sales con nuestros ejércitos.
10 Nos hiciste retroceder delante del enemigo,
Y nos saquean para sí los que nos aborrecen.
11 Nos entregas como ovejas al matadero,
Y nos has esparcido entre las naciones.
12 Has vendido a tu pueblo de balde;
No exigiste ningún precio.
13 Nos pones por afrenta de nuestros vecinos,
Por escarnio y por burla de los que nos rodean.
14 Nos pusiste por proverbio entre las naciones;
Todos al vernos menean la cabeza.
15 Cada día mi vergüenza está delante de mí,
Y la confusión de mi rostro me cubre,
16 Por la voz del que me vitupera y deshonra,
Por razón del enemigo y del vengativo.
17 Todo esto nos ha venido, y no nos hemos olvidado de ti,
Y no hemos faltado a tu pacto.
18 No se ha vuelto atrás nuestro corazón,
Ni se han apartado de tus caminos nuestros pasos,
19 Para que nos quebrantases en el lugar de chacales,
Y nos cubrieses con sombra de muerte.
20 Si nos hubiésemos olvidado del nombre de nuestro Dios,
O alzado nuestras manos a dios ajeno,
21 ¿No demandaría Dios esto?
Porque él conoce los secretos del corazón.
22 Pero por causa de ti nos matan cada día;
Somos contados como ovejas para el matadero.(A)
23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor?
Despierta, no te alejes para siempre.
24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro,
Y te olvidas de nuestra aflicción, y de la opresión nuestra?
25 Porque nuestra alma está agobiada hasta el polvo,
Y nuestro cuerpo está postrado hasta la tierra.
26 Levántate para ayudarnos,
Y redímenos por causa de tu misericordia.

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)

King James Version
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.

New King James Version
Psalm 44
New King James Version
Redemption Remembered in Present Dishonor
To the Chief Musician. A (A)Contemplation[a] of the sons of Korah.
44 We have heard with our ears, O God,
(B)Our fathers have told us,
The deeds You did in their days,
In days of old:
2 (C)You drove out the [b]nations with Your hand,
But them You planted;
You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
3 For (D)they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
(E)Because You favored them.
4 (F)You are my King, [c]O God;
[d]Command victories for Jacob.
5 Through You (G)we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6 For (H)I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.
7 But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.
8 (I)In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. Selah
9 But (J)You have cast us off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.
10 You make us (K)turn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken [e]spoil for themselves.
11 (L)You have given us up like sheep intended for food,
And have (M)scattered us among the nations.
12 (N)You sell Your people for next to nothing,
And are not enriched by selling them.
13 (O)You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
14 (P)You make us a byword among the nations,
(Q)A shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 My dishonor is continually before me,
And the shame of my face has covered me,
16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
(R)Because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 (S)All this has come upon us;
But we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back,
(T)Nor have our steps departed from Your way;
19 But You have severely broken us in (U)the place of jackals,
And covered us (V)with the shadow of death.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,
Or (W)stretched[f] out our hands to a foreign god,
21 (X)Would not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 (Y)Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 (Z)Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
24 (AA)Why do You hide Your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For (AB)our soul is bowed down to the [g]dust;
Our body clings to the ground.
26 Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
