Mga Awit 44:1-3
Magandang Balita Biblia
Panalangin Upang Iligtas
Isang Maskil[a] ng angkan ni Korah, upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit.
44 Ang gawa mo noong una dakilang mga bagay,
narinig po namin, O Diyos, sa ninuno naming mahal;
2 Pinalayas mo ang Hentil sa sarili nilang bayan,
at ang mga hinirang mo ang siya mong inilagay;
sila'y iyong pinagpala't pinaunlad yaong buhay,
samantalang iyong iba ay parusa ang nakamtan,
3 hindi sila ang gumapi sa lupain na minana,
hindi sila nagtagumpay dahilan sa lakas nila;
hindi tabak ang ginamit, ni ginamit na sandata,
kundi lakas mo, O Diyos, noong ikaw ang kasama;
oo, ito'y ginawa mo pagkat mahal mo nga sila.

Psalm 44:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible
This is a special song that the sons of Korah wrote for the music leader.
God, please help us![a]
44 God, we have heard it for ourselves.
Our ancestors told us
what you did for them a long time ago.
2 You used your power to chase away the other nations,
so that our ancestors could live in their land.
You punished those nations,
and you helped our ancestors to be free.
3 Our ancestors did not get the land
by the power of their own swords.
Their own strength did not win the fight.
It was your own power and strength that did it!
You were kind to them because you were their friend.
Footnotes
- 44:1 Verses 1-8 tell us what God did for the Israelites when they came into the country that he had promised to give to them, Canaan. They did not win the land for themselves, but God did it for them. Their enemies were the people that lived in the land before they did. In verses 9-22 we read that something bad has happened. The people are saying that they obeyed their part of the covenant, but God still did not take care of them. In verses 23-26 the person who wrote the psalm prays. He asks God to send help quickly.
