Psalms 44:4-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 44
4You are my King, God; Command victories for Jacob. 5Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us. 6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. 7But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us. 8In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah 9Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies. 10You cause us to turn back from the enemy; And those who hate us have taken spoils for themselves. 11You turn us over to be eaten like sheep, And have scattered us among the nations. 12You sell Your people cheaply, And have not profited by their sale. 13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, Of scoffing and ridicule to those around us.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 44
4You are my King, my God, who ordains victories for Jacob. 5Through you we drive back our foes; through your name we trample our enemies. 6For I do not trust in my bow, and my sword does not bring me victory. 7But you give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced.
8We boast in God all day long; we will praise your name forever. Selah
9But you have rejected and humiliated us; you do not march out with our armies.
10You make us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have taken plunder for themselves.
11You hand us over to be eaten like sheep and scatter us among the nations.
12You sell your people for nothing; you make no profit from selling them.
13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.
New Living Translation
Chapter 44
4You are my King and my God. You command victories for Israel. 5Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name can we trample our foes. 6I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. 7You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us.
9But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor. You no longer lead our armies to battle.
10You make us retreat from our enemies and allow those who hate us to plunder our land.
11You have butchered us like sheep and scattered us among the nations.
12You sold your precious people for a pittance, making nothing on the sale.
13You let our neighbors mock us. We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
English Standard Version
Chapter 44
4 You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob! 5Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. 6For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. 7But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. 8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah 9But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. 10You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. 11You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. 13You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us.New International Version
Chapter 44
4You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. 5Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. 6I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
8In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
9But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
10You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
11You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
New King James Version
Chapter 44
4 You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob. 5Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. 6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me. 7But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.
9But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.
10You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
11 You have given us up like sheep intended for food, And have scattered us among the nations.
12 You sell Your people for next to nothing, And are not enriched by selling them.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
