Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 44:1 | To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old. |
| 44:2 | You drove out nations with Your hand and planted them. You brought evil on peoples and expelled them. |
| 44:3 | For they did not inherit the land with their own sword; yea, their own arm did not save them. But it was Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your face, because You favored them. |
| 44:4 | You are He, my King, O God; command deliverances for Jacob. |
| 44:5 | Through You we will push our enemies; through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. |
| 44:6 | For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me. |
| 44:7 | But You have saved us from our adversaries and have put to shame those who hate us. |
| 44:8 | We boast in God all the day long; and we praise Your name forever. Selah. |
| 44:9 | Now You have cast us off and have shamed us. And You do not go forth with our armies. |
| 44:10 | You make us turn back from the oppressor; yea, our haters plunder for themselves. |
| 44:11 | You have given us like sheep for food and have scattered us among the nations. |
| 44:12 | For no gain You have sold Your people, and You are not increased by their price. |
| 44:13 | You made us a disgrace to our neighbors, a scorn and a mockery to those around us. |
| 44:14 | You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. |
| 44:15 | My humiliation is before me all the day; yea, the shame of my face covers me, |
| 44:16 | because of the slanderer's voice and the blasphemer, before the face of the enemy and avenger. |
| 44:17 | All this has come upon us, and we have not forgotten You nor dealt falsely with Your covenant. |
| 44:18 | Our heart has not turned back, and our steps have not swerved from Your way, |
| 44:19 | though You have crushed us in the place of jackals and covered us over with the death-shade. |
| 44:20 | If we have forgotten the name of our God, and have spread our hands to an alien god, |
| 44:21 | shall not God search out this? For He knows the secrets of the heart. |
| 44:22 | Yea, for Your sake we are slain all the day long; we are counted as sheep of slaughter. |
| 44:23 | Be aroused! Why do You sleep, O God? Awake! Do not cast us off forever. |
| 44:24 | Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and distress? |
| 44:25 | For our soul bows down to the dust; our belly holds fast to the earth. |
| 44:26 | Arise for our help and redeem us for the sake of Your mercy. |
