Psalms 44
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1(44-1) For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. (44-2) O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
1In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Filiis Core, ad intellectum. Canticum pro dilecto.
2(44-3) Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
2[Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi. Lingua mea calamus scribæ velociter scribentis.
3(44-4) For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
3Speciosus forma præ filiis hominum, diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in æternum.
4(44-5) Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
4Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime.
5(44-6) Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
5Specie tua et pulchritudine tua intende, prospere procede, et regna, propter veritatem, et mansuetudinem, et justitiam; et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua.
6(44-7) For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
6Sagittæ tuæ acutæ: populi sub te cadent, in corda inimicorum regis.
7(44-8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
7Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi; virga directionis virga regni tui.
8(44-9) In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
8Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem; propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo lætitiæ, præ consortibus tuis.
9(44-10) Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
9Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis, a domibus eburneis; ex quibus delectaverunt te
10(44-11) Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
10filiæ regum in honore tuo. Astitit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato, circumdata varietate.
11(44-12) Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
11Audi, filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam; et obliviscere populum tuum, et domum patris tui.
12(44-13) Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
12Et concupiscet rex decorem tuum, quoniam ipse est Dominus Deus tuus, et adorabunt eum.
13(44-14) Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
13Et filiæ Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur; omnes divites plebis.
14(44-15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
14Omnis gloria ejus filiæ regis ab intus, in fimbriis aureis,
15(44-16) All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
15circumamicta varietatibus. Adducentur regi virgines post eam; proximæ ejus afferentur tibi.
16(44-17) For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
16Afferentur in lætitia et exsultatione; adducentur in templum regis.
17(44-18) All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
17Pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii; constitues eos principes super omnem terram.
18(44-19) Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
18Memores erunt nominis tui in omni generatione et generationem: propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.]
19(44-20) Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
