Tehillim 44
Orthodox Jewish Bible
44 (For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. A maskil). We have heard with our oznayim, O Elohim, Avoteinu have told us, what po’al (work) Thou hast wrought in their days, in the times of old.
2 (3) How Thou didst drive out the Goyim with Thy Yad, but plantedst them; how Thou didst afflict the people, but for them Thou madest room.
3 (4) For they got not eretz in possession by their own cherev, neither did their own zero’a save them, but Thy Yamin (Right Hand), and Thine Zero’a, and the ohr (light) of Thy countenance, because Thou favored them.
4 (5) Thou art my Melech, O Elohim; command yeshu’ot (deliverances) for Ya’akov.
5 (6) Through Thee will we push down our enemies; through Thy Shem will we trample them under that rise up against us.
6 (7) For I will not trust in my keshet (bow), neither shall my cherev save me.
7 (8) But Thou hast saved us from tzareinu (our enemies), and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 (9) In Elohim we boast kol hayom, and praise Thy Shem l’olam (forever). Selah.
9 (10) But Thou hast cast off, and disgraced us; and goest not forth with tzivoteinu (our armies).
10 (11) Thou makest us to turn back from before the tzar (enemy); and they which hate us have taken plunder for themselves.
11 (12) Thou hast given us up like tzon appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the Goyim.
12 (13) Thou sellest Amecha (Thy People) for a mere nothing, and art not enriched by their price.
13 (14) Thou makest us a cherpah (reproach) to our shchenim (neighbors), a scorn and a derision to them that are all around us.
14 (15) Thou makest us a mashal (byword) among the Goyim, a shaking of the rosh among the peoples.
15 (16) Kol hayom my dishonor is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 (17) At the voice of him that reproacheth and revileth; by reason of the oyev (enemy) and avenger.
17 (18) All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we dealt falsely in Thy Brit.
18 (19) Libenu (our heart) is not turned back, neither have our steps departed from Thy way;
19 (20) Though Thou hast crushed us in the makom (place, home, haunt) of jackals, and covered us with the tzalmavet (shadow of death).
20 (21) If we have forgotten the Shem of Eloheinu, or stretched out our palms [in worship] to an el zar (foreign g-d);
21 (22) Shall not Elohim search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the lev.
22 (23) Yes, for Thy sake are we killed kol hayom; we are counted as tzon (sheep) for the tivchah (slaughter).
23 (24) Awake. Why sleepest Thou, Adonoi? Arise, cast us not off lanetzach (forever).
24 (25) Why hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our oni (misery, affliction) and our oppression?
25 (26) For our nefesh is bowed down to the aphar (dust); our beten (belly, body) has deveykus with the dirt.
26 (27) Arise for our help, and redeem us for the sake of Thy chesed.

Psalm 44[a]
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.[b]
1 We have heard it with our ears,(A) O God;
our ancestors have told us(B)
what you did in their days,
in days long ago.(C)
2 With your hand you drove out(D) the nations
and planted(E) our ancestors;
you crushed(F) the peoples
and made our ancestors flourish.(G)
3 It was not by their sword(H) that they won the land,
nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(I) your arm,(J)
and the light(K) of your face, for you loved(L) them.
4 You are my King(M) and my God,(N)
who decrees[c] victories(O) for Jacob.
5 Through you we push back(P) our enemies;
through your name we trample(Q) our foes.
6 I put no trust in my bow,(R)
my sword does not bring me victory;
7 but you give us victory(S) over our enemies,
you put our adversaries to shame.(T)
8 In God we make our boast(U) all day long,(V)
and we will praise your name forever.[d](W)
9 But now you have rejected(X) and humbled us;(Y)
you no longer go out with our armies.(Z)
10 You made us retreat(AA) before the enemy,
and our adversaries have plundered(AB) us.
11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep(AC)
and have scattered us among the nations.(AD)
12 You sold your people for a pittance,(AE)
gaining nothing from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach(AF) to our neighbors,(AG)
the scorn(AH) and derision(AI) of those around us.
14 You have made us a byword(AJ) among the nations;
the peoples shake their heads(AK) at us.
15 I live in disgrace(AL) all day long,
and my face is covered with shame(AM)
16 at the taunts(AN) of those who reproach and revile(AO) me,
because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.(AP)
17 All this came upon us,
though we had not forgotten(AQ) you;
we had not been false to your covenant.
18 Our hearts had not turned(AR) back;
our feet had not strayed from your path.
19 But you crushed(AS) us and made us a haunt for jackals;(AT)
you covered us over with deep darkness.(AU)
20 If we had forgotten(AV) the name of our God
or spread out our hands to a foreign god,(AW)
21 would not God have discovered it,
since he knows the secrets of the heart?(AX)
22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep(AY) to be slaughtered.(AZ)

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.

Palabra de Dios para Todos
¡Despierta, Dios mío!
Al director. Un poema de los descendientes de Coré.
1 Dios mío, hemos escuchado hablar de ti,
nuestros padres nos han contado
las maravillas que hiciste en su época,
en aquellos tiempos pasados.
2 Nos contaron cómo con tu poder arrancaste naciones,
y plantaste a nuestros padres.
Trituraste naciones,
y los expulsaste de la tierra.
3 No fue gracias a sus espadas
ni a su fuerza como obtuvieron la victoria,
sino gracias a tu poder y a tu fortaleza,
y a la luz de tu presencia
porque tú eras feliz con ellos.
4 Dios mío, tú eres mi rey.
Ordena que el pueblo de Jacob salga victorioso.
5 Con tu ayuda, nos quitaremos de encima al enemigo;
sólo en tu nombre los podremos pisotear.
6 No confío en mi espada ni en mi arco,
pues no me pueden dar la victoria.
7 Eres tú quien nos da la victoria
y pone en ridículo a nuestros enemigos.
8 Todo el día hemos alabado a Dios.
Siempre adoraremos su nombre. Selah
9 Pero tú nos has rechazado, nos has humillado
y ya no fuiste con nosotros a la batalla.
10 Nos hiciste huir de nuestros enemigos,
los que nos odian se apoderan de lo nuestro.
11 Nos entregaste como ovejas para que nos devoraran.
Nos dispersaste por todo el mundo.
12 Vendiste a tu pueblo muy barato
sin luchar por un buen precio.
13 Nos has convertido en objeto de los insultos de nuestros vecinos;
los que nos rodean se burlan de nosotros y nos ridiculizan.
14 Nuestra desgracia ya sirve de refrán a las naciones.
Cuando nos ven, se burlan de nosotros meneando la cabeza.
15 A todo instante me siento humillado,
mi cara está cubierta de vergüenza
16 al oír las palabras de quienes me ultrajan e insultan.
Es el enemigo que busca venganza.
17 Todo esto nos ha sucedido a pesar de que nunca te olvidamos
ni rompimos tu pacto.
18 Nunca te traicionamos;
nunca nos alejamos de ti.
19 Sin embargo, nos aplastaste en una cueva de chacales
y nos has cubierto de densa oscuridad.
20 Si nos hubiéramos olvidado de nuestro Dios
y recurrido a otros dioses,
21 tú te habrías dado cuenta,
ya que conoces nuestros más íntimos secretos.
22 Pero por seguirte siempre nos han masacrado,
nos han tratado como a las ovejas en un matadero.
23 ¡Despierta, Dios mío!
¿Por qué duermes?
¡Levántate, Señor!
No nos abandones para siempre.
24 ¿Por qué te escondes de nosotros?
No ignores nuestro dolor y sufrimiento.
25 Nos han humillado hasta el polvo;
y nos arrastramos por el suelo.
26 ¡Levántate y ven pronto a ayudarnos!
¡Muéstranos tu fiel amor! ¡Sálvanos!
