NASB — Psalms 44 — KJV

Former Deliverances and Present Troubles.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.

  1 O God°, we have heard° with our ears°,
  Our afathers° have told° us
  The bwork° that You did° in their days°,
  In the cdays° of old°.
  2 You with Your own hand° adrove° out the nations°;
  Then You bplanted° them;
  You cafflicted° the peoples°,
  Then You dspread° them abroad.
  3 For by their own sword° they adid not possess° the land°,
  And their own arm° did not save° them,
  But Your right° hand° and Your barm° and the clight° of Your presence°,
  For You dfavored° them.

The Church, in memory of former favours,

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musicianºª for the sonsº of Korah,º Maschil.]]ºª We have heardºª with our ears,º O God,º our fathersº have toldºª us, [what] workº thou didstºª in their days,º in the timesº of old.º 2 [How] thou² didst drive outºª the heathenº with thy hand,º and plantedstºª them; [how] thou didst afflictºª the people,º and cast them out.ºª 3 For² they got¹ª not² the landº in possessionºª by their own sword,º neither² did their own armº saveºª them: but² thy right hand,º and thine arm,º and the lightº of thy countenance,º because² thou hadst a favourºª unto them. 4 Thou² art my King,º O God:º commandºª deliverancesº for Jacob.º 5 Through thee will we push downºª our enemies:º through thy nameº will we tread them underºª that rise up¹ª against² us. 6 For² I will not² trustºª in my bow,º neither² shall my swordº saveºª me.
