Noah Webster's Bible 1833
44:1 | To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. |
44:2 | How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and didst plant them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. |
44:3 | For they obtained not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor to them. |
44:4 | Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. |
44:5 | Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name we will tread them under that rise up against us. |
44:6 | For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. |
44:7 | But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. |
44:8 | In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. |
44:9 | But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. |
44:10 | Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us plunder for themselves. |
44:11 | Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the heathen. |
44:12 | Thou sellest thy people for naught, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. |
44:13 | Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are around us. |
44:14 | Thou makest us a by-word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. |
44:15 | My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
44:16 | For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. |
44:17 | All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. |
44:18 | Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; |
44:19 | Though thou hast severely broke us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shades of death. |
44:20 | If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; |
44:21 | Will not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
44:22 | Yes, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. |
44:23 | Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. |
44:24 | Why hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? |
44:25 | For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth. |
44:26 | Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
