Psalms 44

Treated in 7 passages across the library.

  • 44:3 Their own swords did not win them the land; their own strength did not bring them rescue. Your right hand did it, your arm, and the shining of your face, because you took delight in them. 2
  • 44:17 All this has fallen on us, yet we have not put you out of mind or broken faith with your covenant. 2
  • 44:19 yet you have crushed us in a place where only jackals live, and wrapped us in deathly darkness. 2
  • 44:20 Had we forgotten our God's name, or lifted our hands in prayer to a foreign god, 2
  • 44:4 You alone are my King, God; give the order for Jacob's victories. 1
  • 44:12 You sell off your own people for next to nothing; their price has not made you any richer. 1
  • 44:13 You have made us a disgrace in the eyes of our neighbors, a joke and a laughingstock to all around us. 1
  • 44:14 You have turned our name into a proverb among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us. 1
  • 44:15 All day long I see my disgrace, and shame is written over my face, 1
  • 44:16 because of the voice of those who taunt and mock, because of the sight of the enemy bent on revenge. 1
  • 44:18 Our hearts have not turned away, and our feet have not wandered from your road, 1
  • 44:21 would not God have searched it out? For he knows what is hidden in the heart. 1
  • 44:22 Because we belong to you, we are being killed all day long; we are looked on as sheep marked for the butcher. 1
  • 44:23 Wake up, Lord! Why are you sleeping? Rise from your sleep! Do not cast us off forever! 1
  • 44:24 Why do you turn your face away and forget how we suffer and are oppressed? 1
  • 44:25 We are bowed down into the dust; our bodies are pressed flat against the ground. 1
  • 44:26 Rise up and come to our help! Set us free because of your loyal love. 1
