Psalms Psalm 44 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. 44:1We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 44:2How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 44:3For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. 44:4Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 44:5Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 44:6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 44:7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 44:8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 44:9But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 44:10Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 44:11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 44:12Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 44:13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 44:14Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 44:15My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 44:16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 44:17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 44:18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 44:19Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 44:20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 44:21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 44:22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 44:23Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 44:24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 44:25For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 44:26Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies sake. Psalm 45 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. 45:1My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 45:2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 45:3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 45:4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 45:5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the kings enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 45:6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 45:7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 45:8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 45:9Kings daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 45:10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy fathers house; 45:11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 45:12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 45:13The kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. 45:14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. 45:15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the kings palace. 45:16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 45:17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
