44:1 in finem pro his qui commutabuntur filiis Core ad intellectum canticum pro dilecto

44:1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved.

44:2 manus tua gentes disperdit et plantasti eos adflixisti populos et expulisti eos

44:2 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

44:3 nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram et brachium eorum non salvavit eos sed dextera tua et brachium tuum et inluminatio faciei tuae quoniam conplacuisti in eis

44:3 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.

44:4 tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus qui mandas salutes Iacob

44:4 Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.

44:5 in te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis

44:5 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

44:6 non enim in arcu meo sperabo et gladius meus non salvabit me

44:6 For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.

44:7 salvasti enim nos de adfligentibus nos et odientes nos confudisti

44:7 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.

44:8 in Deo laudabimur tota die et in nomine tuo confitebimur in saeculum diapsalma

44:8 In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

44:9 nunc autem reppulisti et confudisti nos et non egredieris in virtutibus nostris

44:9 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

44:10 avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi

44:10 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

44:11 dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum et in gentibus dispersisti nos

44:11 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.

44:12 vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus nostris

44:12 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

44:13 posuisti nos obprobrium vicinis nostris subsannationem et derisum his qui in circuitu nostro

44:13 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

44:14 posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus commotionem capitis in populis

44:14 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

44:15 tota die verecundia mea contra me est et confusio faciei meae cooperuit me

44:15 All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,

44:16 a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis a facie inimici et persequentis

44:16 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

44:17 haec omnia venerunt super nos nec obliti sumus te et inique non egimus in testamento tuo

44:17 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

44:18 et non recessit retrorsum cor nostrum et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua

44:18 And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

44:19 quoniam humiliasti nos in loco adflictionis et cooperuit nos umbra mortis

44:19 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.

44:20 si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri et expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum

44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

44:22 nonne Deus requiret ista ipse enim novit abscondita cordis quoniam propter te mortificamur omni die aestimati sumus sicut oves occisionis

44:22 Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

44:23 exsurge quare dormis Domine exsurge ne repellas in finem

44:23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.

44:24 quare faciem tuam avertis oblivisceris inopiae nostrae et tribulationis nostrae

44:24 Why turnest thou thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?

44:25 quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra conglutinatus est in terra venter noster

44:25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.

44:26 exsurge adiuva nos et redime nos propter nomen tuum

44:26 Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name's sake.
