Salmos 44
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Salmo 44
Oración nacional de intercesión
Para el director del coro. Masquil[a] de los hijos de Coré.
44 Oh Dios, con nuestros oídos hemos oído,
Nuestros padres nos han contado(A)
La obra que hiciste en sus días(B),
En los tiempos antiguos(C):
2 Tú con Tu mano echaste fuera las naciones(D),
Pero a ellos los plantaste(E).
Afligiste a los pueblos(F),
Pero a ellos los hiciste crecer(G).
3 Pues no fue por su espada que tomaron posesión de la tierra(H),
Ni fue su brazo el que los salvó,
Sino Tu diestra y Tu brazo(I), y la luz de Tu presencia(J),
Porque te complaciste en ellos(K).
4 ¶Tú eres mi Rey, oh Dios(L);
Manda victorias a Jacob(M).
5 Contigo rechazaremos a nuestros adversarios(N);
En Tu nombre pisotearemos a los que contra nosotros se levanten(O).
6 Porque yo no confiaré en mi arco(P),
Ni me podrá salvar mi espada;
7 Pues Tú nos has salvado de nuestros adversarios(Q),
Y has avergonzado a los que nos aborrecen(R).
8 En Dios nos hemos gloriado todo el día(S).
Por siempre alabaremos Tu nombre(T). (Selah)
9 ¶Sin embargo, Tú nos has rechazado(U) y nos has confundido(V),
Y no sales con nuestros ejércitos(W).
10 Nos haces retroceder ante el adversario(X),
Y los que nos aborrecen tomaron botín para sí(Y).
11 Nos entregas como ovejas para ser devorados(Z),
Y nos has esparcido entre las naciones(AA).
12 Vendes a Tu pueblo a bajo precio(AB),
Y nada has ganado con su venta.
13 Nos haces el oprobio de nuestros vecinos(AC),
Escarnio y burla de los que nos rodean(AD).
14 Nos pones por proverbio entre las naciones(AE),
Causa de risa entre los pueblos(AF).
15 Todo el día mi ignominia está delante de mí,
Y la vergüenza de mi rostro me ha abrumado(AG)
16 Por la voz del que me reprocha e insulta(AH),
Por la presencia del enemigo y del vengativo(AI).
17 ¶Todo esto nos ha sobrevenido, pero no nos hemos olvidado de Ti(AJ),
Ni hemos faltado a Tu pacto(AK).
18 No se ha vuelto atrás nuestro corazón(AL),
Ni se han desviado nuestros pasos de Tu senda(AM);
19 Sin embargo, nos has quebrantado(AN) en la región de los chacales(AO),
Y nos has cubierto con la sombra de la muerte(AP).
20 ¶Si nos hubiéramos olvidado del nombre de nuestro Dios(AQ),
O extendido nuestras manos a un dios extraño(AR),
21 ¿No se habría dado cuenta Dios de esto?
Pues Él conoce los secretos del corazón(AS).
22 Pero por causa Tuya nos matan cada día(AT);
Se nos considera como ovejas para el matadero(AU).
23 ¡Despierta(AV)! ¿Por qué duermes, Señor(AW)?
¡Levántate! No nos rechaces para siempre(AX).
24 ¿Por qué escondes Tu rostro(AY)
Y te olvidas de nuestra aflicción y de nuestra opresión(AZ)?
25 Porque nuestra alma se ha hundido en el polvo(BA);
Nuestro cuerpo está pegado a la tierra.
26 ¡Levántate(BB)! Sé nuestra ayuda,
Y redímenos por amor de Tu misericordia(BC).

- 44:0 Posiblemente, Salmo didáctico, o contemplativo.
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.
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.
