MHRPC: Psalm 44E

Psalm 44E: Psalm 44:9-19

Mara, 11.11.11.11. [G]

5. ⁹ But You have forsaken, to shame brought our boasts;
        No more into battle You go with our hosts.
¹⁰ You make us turn back from the foe in dismay,
        And spoilers who hate us have made us their prey.

6 ¹¹ You give us like sheep to be slaughtered for food,
        Among all the nations dispersed and pursued.
¹² You sell off Your people to strangers for naught;
        Their price to Your treas'ry no increase has brought.

7. ¹³ You make all our neighbors reproach us in pride,
        And cause those around us to scroff and deride.
¹⁴ Our name among nations a byword You've made;
        The people all laugh at us, shaking the head.

8. ¹⁵ And all the day long I behold my disgrace,
        And covered am I with the shame of my face,
¹⁶ Because the blasphemer and scoffer I hear,
        While foe and avenger against me appear.

9. ¹⁷ We suffered this, yet we did not forget You;
        We always have been to Your covenant true.
¹⁸ Our heart is not turned and our steps have not strayed,
        ¹⁹ Though crushed amid ruins and under death's shade.
