Psalm 44

A Prayer for Protection[ae]

44With our own ears we have heard it, O God - our ancestors have told us about it, about the great things you did in their time, in the days of long ago:H5329H1121H7141H4905H8085H241H430H1H5608H6467H6466H3117H3117H69242how you yourself drove out the heathen and established your people in their land; how you punished the other nations and caused your own to prosper.H3423H1471H3027H5193H7489H3816H79713Your people did not conquer the land with their swords; they did not win it by their own power; it was by your power and your strength, by the assurance of your presence, which showed that you loved them.H3423H776H3423H2719H2220H3467H3225H2220H216H6440H75214You are my king and my God; you give victory to your people,H4428H430H6680H3444H32905and by your power we defeat our enemies.H5055H6862H8034H947H69656I do not trust in my bow or in my sword to save me;H982H7198H2719H34677but you have saved us from our enemies and defeated those who hate us.H3467H6862H954H81308We will always praise you and give thanks to you forever.H430H1984H3117H3034H8034H5769H55429But now you have rejected us and let us be defeated; you no longer march out with our armies.H637H2186H3637H3318H663510You made us run from our enemies, and they took for themselves what was ours.H7725H268H6862H8130H815411You allowed us to be slaughtered like sheep; you scattered us in foreign countries.H5414H6629H3978H2219H147112You sold your own people for a small price as though they had little value.H4376H5971H1952H7235H424213Our neighbors see what you did to us, and they mock us and laugh at us.H7760H2781H7934H3933H7047H543914You have made us a joke among the nations; they shake their heads at us in scorn.H7760H4912H1471H4493H7218H381615I am always in disgrace; I am covered with shameH3639H3117H1322H6440H368016from hearing the sneers and insults of my enemies and those who hate me.H6963H2778H1442H6440H341H535817All this has happened to us, even though we have not forgotten you or broken the covenant you made with us.H935H7911H8266H128518We have not been disloyal to you; we have not disobeyed your commands.H3820H5472H268H838H5186H73419Yet you left us helpless among wild animals; you abandoned us in deepest darkness.H1794H4725H8577H3680H675720If we had stopped worshiping our God and prayed to a foreign god,H7911H8034H430H6566H3709H2114H41021you would surely have discovered it, because you know our secret thoughts.H430H2713H3045H8587H382022But it is on your account that we are being killed all the time, that we are treated like sheep to be slaughtered.H2026H3117H2803H6629H287823Wake up, Lord! Why are you asleep? Rouse yourself ! Don't reject us forever!H5782H3462H136H6974H2186H533124Why are you hiding from us? Don't forget our suffering and trouble!H5641H6440H7911H6040H390625We fall crushed to the ground; we lie defeated in the dust.H5315H7743H6083H990H1692H77626Come to our aid! Because of your constant love save us!H6965H5833H6299H2617

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
