Psalm 44
Wähle eine Nachdichtung zum Vergleich
Vers 1
our fathers have us told,
What works thou in their days hadst done,
ev’n in the days of old.
Vers 2
and plant them in their place;
Thou didst afflict the nations,
but them thou didst increase.
Vers 3
nor did their arm them save;
But thy right hand, arm, countenance;
for thou them favour gave.
Vers 4
deliv’rances command.
Through thee we shall push down our foes,
that do against us stand:
Vers 5
that ris’n against us have.
For in my bow I shall not trust,
nor shall my sword me save.
Vers 6
our haters put to shame.
In God we all the day do boast,
and ever praise thy name.
Vers 7
and us thou putt’st to shame;
And when our armies do go forth,
thou go’st not with the same.
Vers 8
faint-hearted, to turn back;
And they who hate us for themselves
our spoils away do take.
Vers 9
’mong heathen cast we be.
Thou didst for nought thy people sell;
their price enrich’d not thee.
Vers 10
unto our neighbours near;
Derision and a scorn to them
that round about us are.
Vers 11
among the heathen make;
The people, in contempt and spite,
at us their heads do shake.
Vers 12
continually abides;
And of my bashful countenance
the shame me ever hides:
Vers 13
and speaketh blasphemy;
By reason of th’ avenging foe,
and cruel enemy.
Vers 14
have not forgotten thee;
Nor falsely in thy covenant
behav’d ourselves have we.
Vers 15
our steps no straying made;
Though us thou brak’st in dragons’ place,
and cover’dst with death’s shade.
Vers 16
to a strange god our hands,
Shall not God search this out? for he
heart’s secrets understands.
Vers 17
counted as slaughter-sheep.
Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off;
awake, why dost thou sleep?
Vers 18
forgett’st our cause distress’d,
And our oppression? For our soul
is to the dust down press’d:
Vers 19
fast cleaving, hold doth take.
Rise for our help, and us redeem,
ev’n for thy mercies’ sake.
