诗篇 44
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
追念神古昔之恩
44 可拉后裔的训诲诗，交于伶长。
1 神啊，你在古时我们列祖的日子所行的事，我们亲耳听见了，我们的列祖也给我们述说过。
2 你曾用手赶出外邦人，却栽培了我们列祖；你苦待列邦，却叫我们列祖发达。
3 因为他们不是靠自己的刀剑得地土，也不是靠自己的膀臂得胜，乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂和你脸上的亮光，因为你喜悦他们。
4 神啊，你是我的王，求你出令使雅各得胜。
5 我们靠你要推倒我们的敌人，靠你的名要践踏那起来攻击我们的人。
6 因为我必不靠我的弓，我的刀也不能使我得胜。
7 唯你救了我们脱离敌人，使恨我们的人羞愧。
8 我们终日因神夸耀，还要永远称谢你的名。（细拉）
陈述己身今时之苦
9 但如今你丢弃了我们，使我们受辱，不和我们的军兵同去。
10 你使我们向敌人转身退后，那恨我们的人任意抢夺。
11 你使我们当做快要被吃的羊，把我们分散在列邦中。
12 你卖了你的子民也不赚利，所得的价值并不加添你的资财。
13 你使我们受邻国的羞辱，被四围的人嗤笑讥刺。
14 你使我们在列邦中做了笑谈，使众民向我们摇头。
15 我的凌辱终日在我面前，我脸上的羞愧将我遮蔽，
16 都因那辱骂毁谤人的声音，又因仇敌和报仇人的缘故。
17 这都临到我们身上，我们却没有忘记你，也没有违背你的约。
18 我们的心没有退后，我们的脚也没有偏离你的路。
19 你在野狗之处压伤我们，用死荫遮蔽我们。
20 倘若我们忘了神的名，或向别神举手，
21 神岂不鉴察这事吗？因为他晓得人心里的隐秘。
22 我们为你的缘故终日被杀，人看我们如将宰的羊。
23 主啊，求你睡醒！为何尽睡呢？求你兴起，不要永远丢弃我们！
24 你为何掩面，不顾我们所遭的苦难和所受的欺压？
25 我们的性命伏于尘土，我们的肚腹紧贴地面。
26 求你起来帮助我们，凭你的慈爱救赎我们！
Psalm 44

Come to Our Help
To the choirmaster. (A)A Maskil[a] of the Sons of Korah.
44 O God, we have heard with our ears,
(B)our fathers have told us,
what deeds you performed in their days,
(C)in the days of old:
2 you with your own hand (D)drove out the nations,
but (E)them you planted;
you afflicted the peoples,
but (F)them you set free;
3 for not (G)by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
and (H)the light of your face,
(I)for you delighted in them.
4 (J)You are my King, O God;
(K)ordain salvation for Jacob!
5 Through you we (L)push down our foes;
through your name we (M)tread down those who rise up against us.
6 For not in (N)my bow do I trust,
nor can my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our foes
and have (O)put to shame those who hate us.
8 (P)In God we have boasted continually,
and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9 But you have (Q)rejected us and disgraced us
and (R)have not gone out with our armies.
10 You have made us (S)turn back from the foe,
and those who hate us have gotten spoil.
11 You have made us like (T)sheep for slaughter
and have (U)scattered us among the nations.
12 (V)You have sold your people for a trifle,
demanding no high price for them.
13 You have made us (W)the taunt of our neighbors,
the derision and (X)scorn of those around us.
14 You have made us (Y)a byword among the nations,
(Z)a laughingstock[b] among the peoples.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me,
and (AA)shame has covered my face
16 at the sound of the taunter and reviler,
at the sight of (AB)the enemy and the avenger.
17 (AC)All this has come upon us,
though we have not forgotten you,
and we have not been false to your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back,
nor have our (AD)steps (AE)departed from your way;
19 yet you have (AF)broken us in the place of (AG)jackals
and covered us with (AH)the shadow of death.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God
or (AI)spread out our hands to (AJ)a foreign god,
21 (AK)would not God discover this?
(AL)For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yet (AM)for your sake we are killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 (AN)Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord?
Rouse yourself! (AO)Do not reject us forever!
24 Why (AP)do you hide your face?
Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?
25 For our (AQ)soul is bowed down to the dust;
our belly clings to the ground.
26 Rise up; (AR)come to our help!
(AS)Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!

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