Psalms 44

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.	1 εις το τελος υπερ των αλλοιωθησομενων τοις υιοις κορε εις συνεσιν ωδη υπερ του αγαπητου
2 O God, we have heard with our own ears; our ancestors have told us The deeds you did in their days, with your own hand in days of old:	2 εξηρευξατο η καρδια μου λογον αγαθον λεγω εγω τα εργα μου τω βασιλει η γλωσσα μου καλαμος γραμματεως οξυγραφου
3 You rooted out nations to plant them, crushed peoples to make room for them.	3 ωραιος καλλει παρα τους υιους των ανθρωπων εξεχυθη χαρις εν χειλεσιν σου δια τουτο ευλογησεν σε ο θεος εις τον αιωνα
4 Not with their own swords did they conquer the land, nor did their own arms bring victory; It was your right hand, your own arm, the light of your face for you favored them.	4 περιζωσαι την ρομφαιαν σου επι τον μηρον σου δυνατε τη ωραιοτητι σου και τω καλλει σου
5 You are my king and my God, who bestows victories on Jacob.	5 και εντεινον και κατευοδου και βασιλευε ενεκεν αληθειας και πραυτητος και δικαιοσυνης και οδηγησει σε θαυμαστως η δεξια σου
6 Through you we batter our foes; through your name, trample our adversaries.	6 τα βελη σου ηκονημενα δυνατε λαοι υποκατω σου πεσουνται εν καρδια των εχθρων του βασιλεως
7 Not in my bow do I trust, nor does my sword bring me victory.	7 ο θρονος σου ο θεος εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος ραβδος ευθυτητος η ραβδος της βασιλειας σου
8 You have brought us victory over our enemies, shamed those who hate us.	8 ηγαπησας δικαιοσυνην και εμισησας ανομιαν δια τουτο εχρισεν σε ο θεος ο θεος σου ελαιον αγαλλιασεως παρα τους μετοχους σου
9 In God we have boasted all the day long; your name we will praise forever. Selah	9 σμυρνα και στακτη και κασια απο των ιματιων σου απο βαρεων ελεφαντινων εξ ων ηυφραναν σε
10 But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you do not march out with our armies.	10 θυγατερες βασιλεων εν τη τιμη σου παρεστη η βασιλισσα εκ δεξιων σου εν ιματισμω διαχρυσω περιβεβλημενη πεποικιλμενη
11 You make us retreat before the foe; those who hate us plunder us at will.	11 ακουσον θυγατερ και ιδε και κλινον το ους σου και επιλαθου του λαου σου και του οικου του πατρος σου
12 You hand us over like sheep to be slaughtered, scatter us among the nations.	12 οτι επεθυμησεν ο βασιλευς του καλλους σου οτι αυτος εστιν ο κυριος σου
13 You sell your people for nothing; you make no profit from their sale.	13 και προσκυνησουσιν αυτω θυγατερες τυρου εν δωροις το προσωπον σου λιτανευσουσιν οι πλουσιοι του λαου
14 You make us the reproach of our neighbors, the mockery and scorn of those around us.	14 πασα η δοξα αυτης θυγατρος βασιλεως εσωθεν εν κροσσωτοις χρυσοις περιβεβλημενη πεποικιλμενη
15 You make us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.	15 απενεχθησονται τω βασιλει παρθενοι οπισω αυτης αι πλησιον αυτης απενεχθησονται σοι
16 All day long my disgrace is before me; shame has covered my face	16 απενεχθησονται εν ευφροσυνη και αγαλλιασει αχθησονται εις ναον βασιλεως
17 At the sound of those who taunt and revile, at the sight of the spiteful enemy.	17 αντι των πατερων σου εγενηθησαν σοι υιοι καταστησεις αυτους αρχοντας επι πασαν την γην
18 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, nor been disloyal to your covenant.	18 μνησθησονται του ονοματος σου εν παση γενεα και γενεα δια τουτο λαοι εξομολογησονται σοι εις τον αιωνα και εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος
19 Our hearts have not turned back, nor have our steps strayed from your path.
20 Yet you have left us crushed, desolate in a place of jackals; you have covered us with darkness.
21 If we had forgotten the name of our God, stretched out our hands to another god,
22 Would not God have discovered this, God who knows the secrets of the heart?
23 For you we are slain all the day long, considered only as sheep to be slaughtered.
24 Awake! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Rise up! Do not reject us forever!
25 Why do you hide your face; why forget our pain and misery?
26 We are bowed down to the ground; our bodies are pressed to the earth.
27 Rise up, help us! Redeem us as your love demands.
