Psalm 44

Menge Bibel

1 Dem Musikmeister; von den Korahiten (42,1) ein Lehrgedicht. (Ps 32,1)2 O Gott, mit eignen Ohren haben wir’s gehört, unsre Väter haben’s uns erzählt, was du Großes in ihren Tagen vollführt hast, in den Tagen der Vorzeit.3 Du hast Heidenvölker mit deiner Hand vertrieben und sie an deren Stelle eingepflanzt; Völker hast du vernichtet, sie aber ausgebreitet.4 Denn nicht mit ihrem Schwerte haben sie das Land gewonnen, und nicht ihr Arm hat ihnen den Sieg verschafft, nein, deine Rechte und dein Arm und deines Angesichts Licht, denn du hattest Gefallen an ihnen.5 Nur du bist mein König, o Gott: entbiete Hilfe[1] für Jakob!6 Mit dir stoßen wir unsre Bedränger nieder, mit deinem Namen zertreten wir unsre Gegner.7 Denn nicht auf meinen Bogen verlasse ich mich, und nicht mein Schwert verschafft mir den Sieg;8 nein, du gewährst uns Hilfe gegen unsre Bedränger und machst zuschanden, die uns hassen:9 Gottes rühmen wir uns allezeit und preisen deinen Namen ewiglich. SELA.10 Und doch hast du uns verstoßen und Schmach uns angetan und ziehst nicht mehr aus mit unsern Heeren;11 du hast vor dem Feinde uns weichen lassen, und die uns hassen, haben sich Beute geholt;12 du hast uns hingegeben wie Schafe zur Schlachtung und unter die Heiden uns zerstreut;13 du hast dein Volk verkauft um ein Spottgeld und den Preis für sie gar niedrig angesetzt;14 du hast uns unsern Nachbarn zum Hohn gemacht, zum Spott und Gelächter rings umher;15 hast gemacht, daß den Heiden zum Sprichwort[2] wir dienen, daß den Kopf die Völker über uns schütteln.16 Allzeit steht meine Schmach mir vor Augen, und die (Röte der) Scham bedeckt mir das Antlitz,17 weil ich höre den lauten Hohn und die Lästerreden, weil den Feind und seine Rachgier ich sehn muß.18 Dies alles hat uns getroffen, und wir hatten dich doch nicht vergessen und dem Bunde mit dir die Treue nicht gebrochen.19 Unser Herz ist nicht von dir abgefallen und unser Schritt nicht abgewichen von deinem Pfade,20 daß du zermalmt uns hast an der Stätte der Schakale und mit Todesnacht uns umlagert hältst.21 Hätten wir unsres Gottes Namen vergessen und unsre Hände erhoben zu einem fremden Gott:22 würde Gott das nicht entdecken? Er kennt ja des Herzens geheimste Gedanken.23 Nein, um deinetwillen werden wir täglich gemordet und werden dem Schlachtvieh gleich geachtet.24 Wach auf! Warum schläfst du, o Allherr? Erwache! Verwirf nicht für immer!25 Warum verbirgst du dein Angesicht, denkst nicht an unser Elend und unsre Bedrängnis?26 Ach, bis in den Staub ist unsre Seele gebeugt, unser Leib liegt da, am Erdboden klebend!27 Steh auf, komm uns zu Hilfe und erlöse uns um deiner Gnade willen!

Psalm 44

1 God, we have heard what you did. Those who came before us have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.2 By your power you drove out the nations. You gave our people homes in the land. You crushed the people who were there. And you made our people do well.3 They didn’t win the land with their swords. They didn’t gain success by their own power. Your powerful right hand and your mighty arm gave them victory. You gave them success because you loved them.4 You are my King and my God. You give victories to the people of Jacob.5 With your help we push back our enemies. By your power we walk all over them.6 I put no trust in my bow. My sword doesn’t bring me victory.7 But you give us victory over our enemies. You put them to shame.8 All day long we talk about how great God is. We will praise your name for ever.9 But now you have turned your back on us and made us humble. You don’t march out with our armies anymore.10 You made us turn and run from our enemies. They have taken what belongs to us.11 You handed us over to be eaten up like sheep. You have scattered us among the nations.12 You sold your people for very little. You didn’t gain anything when you sold them.13 You have made us something that our neighbours laugh at. Those who live around us make fun of us and tease us.14 The nations make jokes about us. They shake their heads at us.15 All day long I have to live with my shame. My face is covered with it.16 That’s because they laugh at me and attack me with their words. They want to get even with me.17 All of this happened to us, even though we had not forgotten you. We had not broken the covenant you made with us.18 Our hearts had not turned away from you. Our feet had not wandered from your path.19 But you crushed us and left us to the wild dogs. You covered us over with deep darkness.20 We didn’t forget our God. We didn’t spread out our hands in prayer to a false god.21 If we had, God would have discovered it. He knows the secrets of our hearts.22 But because of you, we face death all day long. We are considered as sheep to be killed.23 Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don’t say no to us for ever.24 Why do you turn your face away from us? Why do you forget our pain and troubles?25 We are brought down to the dust. Our bodies lie flat on the ground.26 Rise up and help us. Save us because of your faithful love.

Psalm 44

English Standard Version

von Crossway
1 To the choirmaster. A Maskil[1] of the Sons of Korah. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: (2Mo 10,2; 2Mo 12,26; 2Mo 13,8; 2Mo 13,14; 5Mo 6,20; Ri 6,13; Ps 42,1; Ps 77,5; Ps 78,3)2 you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free; (2Mo 15,17; Jos 3,10; 2Sam 7,10; Ps 78,55; Ps 80,8; Ps 80,9; Jer 17,8)3 for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. (5Mo 4,37; 5Mo 7,7; 5Mo 10,15; Jos 24,12; Ps 4,6; Hos 1,7)4 You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob! (Ps 42,8; Ps 74,12)5 Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. (5Mo 33,17; Ps 60,12; Dan 8,4)6 For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. (1Sam 17,47; Ps 33,16)7 But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. (Ps 35,4)8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. (Ps 34,2)9 But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. (Ri 4,14; 2Sam 5,24; Ps 43,2; Ps 44,23; Ps 60,1; Ps 60,10; Ps 74,1; Ps 89,38; Ps 108,11)10 You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. (3Mo 26,17; 5Mo 28,25; Jos 7,8; Jos 7,12)11 You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations. (3Mo 26,33; 5Mo 4,27; 5Mo 28,64; Ps 44,22; Ps 106,27; Jes 52,3; Hes 20,23; Joh 7,35; 1Petr 1,1)12 You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. (5Mo 32,30; Ri 2,14; Ri 3,8; Jer 15,13)13 You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us. (Neh 2,17; Ps 39,8; Ps 79,4; Ps 80,6; Ps 89,41; Ps 119,22)14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock[2] among the peoples. (Hi 16,4; Hi 17,6; Jer 24,9)15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face (2Chr 32,21)16 at the sound of the taunter and reviler, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. (Ps 8,2)17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant. (Dan 9,13)18 Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way; (Hi 23,11; Ps 37,31; Ps 119,51; Ps 119,157)19 yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death. (Hi 3,5; Hi 30,29; Ps 51,8)20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, (Hi 11,13; Ps 68,31; Ps 81,9)21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. (Ps 139,1; Jer 17,10; Joh 2,25; Hebr 4,13)22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. (Ps 44,11; Röm 8,36)23 Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever! (Ps 35,23; Ps 44,9)24 Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression? (Hi 13,24)25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly clings to the ground. (Ps 119,25)26 Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love! (Ps 25,22; Ps 63,7)
