1 To the chiefe musition, a wise instruction of the sonnes of Corach. We haue hearde with our eares O Lorde: our fathers haue tolde vs what workes thou hast done in their daies in the olde tyme. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. We have heard it with our ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.
2 Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thy hande and planted them in: howe thou hast destroyed the nations & placed them. you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free; With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors; you crushed the peoples and made our ancestors flourish.
3 For they gat not the lande in possession through their owne sworde: neither was it their owne arme that saued them. (44:4) But thy ryght hande, and thine arme, & the lyght of thy countenaunce: because thou hadst a fauour vnto them. for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. 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.
4 (44:5) Thou art my kyng O Lorde: commaunde that Iacob be saued. You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob! You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.
5 (44:6) Through thee we wyll ouerthrowe our enemies: and in thy name we wyll treade them vnder that ryse vp agaynst vs. Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.
6 (44:7) For I wyll not trust in my bowe: and it is not my sworde that can saue me. For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;
7 (44:8) But it is thou that sauest vs from our enemies: and thou puttest them to confusion that hate vs. But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
8 (44:9) We make our boast of God all the day long: and we wyll confesse thy name for euer. Selah. In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
9 (44:10) But nowe thou art farre of, and thou puttest vs to confusion: neither goest thou foorth with our armies. But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
10 (44:11) Thou makest vs to turne away backwarde from the enemie: so that they which hate vs, do make vs a spoyle vnto them. You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
11 (44:12) Thou hast delyuered vs as sheepe to be eaten: and thou hast scattered vs among the heathen. You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations. You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
12 (44:13) Thou hast solde thy people for naught: and thou hast taken no money for them. You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.
13 (44:14) Thou hast made vs a rebuke to our neighbours: to be laughed to scorne and had in derision of them that are rounde about vs. You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us. You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
14 (44:15) Thou hast made vs to be a fable among the heathen: and to be such that the people shake their head at vs. You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.
15 (44:16) My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face couereth me: All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face I live in disgrace all day long, and my face is covered with shame
16 for to heare the voyce of the slaunderer & blasphemer, and for to see the enemie and the auenger. at the sound of the taunter and reviler, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
17 And though all this be come vpon vs: yet we do not forget thee, nor shewe our selues to be false in thy couenaunt. All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant. All this came upon us, though we had not forgotten you; we had not been false to your covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned backe, neither our steppes be declined out of thy pathes: Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way; Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path.
19 (44:18) no not when thou hast smitten vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadowe of death. yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death. But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals; you covered us over with deep darkness.
20 (44:19) If we had forgotten the name of our Lorde, and holden vp our handes to any straunge god: If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 (44:19) woulde not God searche it out? for he knoweth the very secretes of the heart. would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?
22 (44:20) For thy sake also are we kylled all the day long: and are counted as sheepe appoynted to be slayne. Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 (44:21) Stirre vp O Lorde, why slepest thou? awake & be not absent from vs for euer: Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever! Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
24 (44:21) wherfore hydest thou thy face, and forgettest our miserie and tribulation? Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression? Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?
25 (44:22) For our soule is brought lowe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the grounde. For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly clings to the ground. We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground.
26 (44:23) Aryse vp thou our ayde, and redeeme vs: for thy louyng kindnesse sake. Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love! Rise up and help us; rescue us because of your unfailing love.
