Salmos 44
Biblia del Jubileo
Al Vencedor: a los hijos de Coré: Masquil.
1 Oh Dios, con nuestros oídos hemos oído, nuestros padres nos han contado la obra que hiciste en sus tiempos, en los tiempos antiguos.
2 Tú con tu mano echaste los gentiles, y los plantaste a ellos en su lugar; afligiste los pueblos, y los arrojaste.
3 Porque no heredaron 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 saludes a Jacob.
5 Por medio de ti acornearemos a nuestros enemigos; en tu Nombre atropellaremos a nuestros adversarios.
6 Porque no confiaré en mi arco, ni mi espada me salvará.
7 Porque tú nos has guardado de nuestros enemigos, y has avergonzado a los que nos aborrecían.
8 En Dios nos alabamos todo el tiempo, y para siempre loaremos tu Nombre. (Selah.)
9 ¶ Pero nos has desechado, y nos has hecho avergonzar; y no sales en nuestros ejércitos.
10 Nos hiciste retroceder del enemigo, y nos saquearon para sí los que nos aborrecieron.
11 Nos pusiste como a ovejas para comida, y nos esparciste entre los gentiles.
12 Has vendido tu pueblo de balde, y sin precio.
13 Nos pusiste por vergüenza a nuestros vecinos, por escarnio y por burla a los que nos rodean.
14 Nos pusiste por proverbio entre los gentiles, por movimiento de cabeza en los pueblos.
15 Cada día mi vergüenza está delante de mí, y me cubre la confusión de mi rostro,
16 por la voz del que me blasfema y deshonra, por la voz del enemigo y del que se venga.
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 tampoco se han apartado nuestros pasos de tus caminos.
19 Cuando nos quebrantaste en el lugar de los dragones, y nos cubriste con sombra de muerte,
20 si nos hubiéramos 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 Antes por tu causa nos matan cada día; somos tenidos como ovejas para el degolladero.
23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no nos deseches para siempre.
24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro? ¿Olvidaste nuestra aflicción, y la opresión nuestra?
25 Porque nuestra alma se ha agobiado hasta el polvo; nuestro vientre está pegado con la tierra.
26 Levántate para ayudarnos, y redímenos por tu misericordia.
Psalm 44
English Standard Version
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!

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.
