44:1  Oh God, we have heard with our ears, also our fathers related to us what you did in their days, in the former days:
44:2  Your hand destroyed Gentiles, and you planted them, and you afflicted kingdoms, and you established them
44:3  Because it was not by their sword that they inherited the land, neither their arms that saved them, but your right hand and your arm and the light of your face, for you were pleased with them.
44:4  You are God, my King, for you commanded concerning the salvation of Jacob.
44:5  By you we shall wound our enemies, and because of your Name we shall tread upon those who hate us.
44:6  Because we have not trusted upon our bows, neither upon our armor, to save us.
44:7  You have saved us from our haters and you have put our enemies to shame.
44:8  We glorify you every day, oh God, and we shall confess your Name to eternity!
44:9  Now you have forgotten us and you have shamed us and you do not go forth with our army.
44:10  But you have turned us back and our enemies have plundered us.
44:11  You have given us like sheep for food and you have scattered us among the Gentiles.
44:12  And you have sold your people without a price and you have made no gain by their exchange.
44:13  You have made us a reproach to our neighbors; a mockery and a laughingstock to those who are around us.
44:14  You have made us a proverb among the Gentiles and a shaking of the head among the peoples.
44:15  And all day my shame is in front of me and the shame of my face has covered me,
44:16  From the voice that reproaches and insults, and from before the enemy who avenges.
44:17  All these things were heaped up upon us and we have not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
44:18  And we have not turned our back, neither have we turned our steps from your road.
44:19  Because you have humbled us in the place of dragons and you have covered us with the shadows of death.
44:20  And we do not forget The Name of our God, neither have we stretched our hands to foreign gods.
44:21  God searches into this, for he knows the purposes of the heart.
44:22  For your sake we are being killed everyday, and we are accounted like lambs for slaughter.
44:23  Awake and do not sleep, Lord Jehovah! Remember us and do not forget us!
44:24  And do not turn your face from us, neither forget our humiliation and our afflictions!
44:25  Because our soul is humbled upon the dust and our belly has cleaved to the Earth.
44:26  Arise! Help us and save us because of your love!
