Awit 44
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
44 Narinig namin ng aming mga pakinig, Oh Dios, isinaysay sa amin ng aming mga magulang, kung anong gawa ang iyong ginawa sa kanilang mga kaarawan, ng mga kaarawan ng una.
2 Iyong itinaboy ng iyong kamay ang mga bansa, nguni't itinatag mo sila; iyong dinalamhati ang mga bayan, nguni't iyong pinangalat sila.
3 Sapagka't hindi nila tinamo ang lupain na pinakaari sa pamamagitan ng kanilang sariling tabak, ni iniligtas man sila ng kanilang sariling kamay: kundi ng iyong kanan, at ng iyong bisig, at ng liwanag ng iyong mukha, sapagka't iyong nilingap sila.
4 Ikaw ang aking Hari, Oh Dios: magutos ka ng kaligtasan sa Jacob.
5 Dahil sa iyo'y itutulak namin ang aming mga kaaway: sa iyong pangalan ay yayapakan namin sila na nagsisibangon laban sa amin.
6 Sapagka't hindi ako titiwala sa aking busog, ni ililigtas man ako ng aking tabak.
7 Nguni't iniligtas mo kami sa aming mga kaaway, at inilagay mo sila sa kahihiyan na nangagtatanim sa amin.
8 Sa Dios ay naghahambog kami buong araw, at mangagpapasalamat kami sa iyong pangalan magpakailan man. (Selah)
9 Nguni't ngayo'y itinakuwil mo kami, at inilagay mo kami sa kasiraang puri; at hindi ka lumalabas na kasama ng aming mga hukbo.
10 Iyong pinatatalikod kami sa kaaway: at silang nangagtatanim sa amin ay nagsisisamsam ng sa ganang kanilang sarili.
11 Iyong ibinigay kaming gaya ng mga tupa na pinaka pagkain; at pinangalat mo kami sa mga bansa.
12 Iyong ipinagbibili ang iyong bayan na walang bayad, at hindi mo pinalago ang iyong kayamanan sa pamamagitan ng kanilang halaga.
13 Ginawa mo kaming katuyaan sa aming mga kapuwa, isang kasabihan at kadustaan nila na nangasa palibot namin.
14 Iyong ginawa kaming kawikaan sa gitna ng mga bansa, at kaugaan ng ulo sa gitna ng mga bayan.
15 Buong araw ay nasa harap ko ang aking kasiraang puri, at ang kahihiyan ng aking mukha ay tumakip sa akin,
16 Dahil sa tinig niya na dumuduwahagi at tumutungayaw; dahil sa kaaway at sa manghihiganti.
17 Lahat ng ito'y dumating sa amin; gayon ma'y hindi namin kinalimutan ka, ni gumawa man kami na may karayaan sa iyong tipan.
18 Ang aming puso ay hindi tumalikod, ni ang amin mang mga hakbang ay humiwalay sa iyong daan;
19 Na kami ay iyong lubhang nilansag sa dako ng mga chakal, at tinakpan mo kami ng lilim ng kamatayan.
20 Kung aming nilimot ang pangalan ng aming Dios, O aming iniunat ang aming mga kamay sa ibang dios;
21 Hindi ba sisiyasatin ito ng Dios? Sapagka't nalalaman niya ang mga lihim ng puso.
22 Oo, dahil sa iyo ay pinapatay kami buong araw; kami ay nabilang na parang mga tupa sa patayan.
23 Ikaw ay gumising, bakit ka natutulog, Oh Panginoon? Ikaw ay bumangon, huwag mo kaming itakuwil magpakailan man.
24 Bakit mo ikinukubli ang iyong mukha, at kinalilimutan mo ang aming kadalamhatian at aming kapighatian?
25 Sapagka't ang aming kaluluwa ay nakasubsob sa alabok: ang aming katawan ay nadidikit sa lupa.
26 Ikaw ay bumangon upang kami ay tulungan, at tubusin mo kami dahil sa iyong kagandahang-loob.
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.

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!
