Ps.44.1

We've been hearing about this, God, all our lives. Our fathers told us the stories their fathers told them,

Ps.44.1

We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

Ps.44.1

We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, The deeds You did in their days, In days of old:

Ps.44.1

O God, we have heard it with our own ears--our ancestors have told us of all you did in other days, in days long ago:

Ps.44.2

How single-handedly you weeded out the godless from the fields and planted us, How you sent those people packing but gave us a fresh start.

Ps.44.2

With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish.

Ps.44.2

You drove out the nations with Your hand, But them You planted; You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.

Ps.44.2

You drove out the pagan nations and gave all the land to our ancestors; you crushed their enemies, setting our ancestors free.

Ps.44.3

We didn't fight for this land; we didn't work for it--it was a gift! You gave it, smiling as you gave it, delighting as you gave it.

Ps.44.3

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

Ps.44.3

For 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, Because You favored them.

Ps.44.3

They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strength that gave them victory. It was by your mighty power that they succeeded; it was because you favored them and smiled on them.

Ps.44.4

You're my King, O God--command victories for Jacob!

Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.

Ps.44.5

Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

Ps.44.5

Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name can we trample our foes.

Ps.44.6

I don't trust in weapons; my sword won't save me--

Ps.44.6

I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;

Ps.44.6

For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me.

Ps.44.6

I do not trust my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me.

Ps.44.7

But it's you, you who saved us from the enemy; you made those who hate us lose face.

Ps.44.7

but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.

Ps.44.7

But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.

Ps.44.7

It is you who gives us victory over our enemies; it is you who humbles those who hate us.

All day we parade God's praise--we thank you by name over and over.

Ps.44.8

In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Selah

Ps.44.8

In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever.Selah

Ps.44.8

O God, we give glory to you all day long and constantly praise your name.

Ps.44.9

But now you've walked off and left us, you've disgraced us and won't fight for us.

Ps.44.9

But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.

Ps.44.9

But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.

Ps.44.9

But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor. You no longer lead our armies to battle.

Ps.44.10

You made us turn tail and run; those who hate us have cleaned us out.

Ps.44.10

You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.

Ps.44.10

You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.

Ps.44.10

You make us retreat from our enemies and allow them to plunder our land.

Ps.44.11

You delivered us as sheep to the butcher, you scattered us to the four winds.

Ps.44.11

You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.

Ps.44.11

You have given us up like sheep intended for food, And have scattered us among the nations.

Ps.44.11

You have treated us like sheep waiting to be slaughtered; you have scattered us among the nations.

Ps.44.12

You sold your people at a discount--you made nothing on the sale.

Ps.44.12

You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.

Ps.44.12

You sell Your people for next to nothing, And are not enriched by selling them.

Ps.44.12

You sold us--your precious people--for a pittance. You valued us at nothing at all.
