Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 The Church, in memory of former favours, 7 complaineth of her present evils. 17 Professing her integrity, 24 she fervently prayeth for succour.

44:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician 5329 z8764 for the sons 1121 of Korah, 7141 Maschil.]] 4905 z8688 We have heard 8085 z8804 with our ears, 241 O God, 430 our fathers 1 have told 5608 z8765 us, [what] work 6467 thou didst 6466 z8804 in their days, 3117 in the times 3117 of old. 6924

44:2 [How] thou x859 didst drive out 3423 z8689 the heathen 1471 with thy hand, 3027 and plantedst 5193 z8799 them; [how] thou didst afflict 7489 z8686 the people, 3816 and cast them out. 7971 z8762

44:3 For x3588 they got y3423 z0 not x3808 the land 776 in possession 3423 z8804 by their own sword, 2719 neither x3808 did their own arm 2220 save 3467 z8689 them: but x3588 thy right hand, 3225 and thine arm, 2220 and the light 216 of thy countenance, 6440 because x3588 thou hadst a favour 7521 z8804 unto them.

44:4 Thou x859 art my King, 4428 O God: 430 command 6680 z8761 deliverances 3444 for Jacob. 3290

44:5 Through thee will we push down 5055 z8762 our enemies: 6862 through thy name 8034 will we tread them under 947 z8799 that rise up y6965 z8801 against x6965 us.

44:6 For x3588 I will not x3808 trust 982 z8799 in my bow, 7198 neither x3808 shall my sword 2719 save 3467 z8686 me.

44:7 But x3588 thou hast saved 3467 z8689 us from our enemies, 6862 x4480 and hast put them to shame 954 z8689 that hated 8130 z8764 us.

44:8 In God 430 we boast 1984 z8765 all x3605 the day 3117 long, and praise 3034 z8686 thy name 8034 for ever. 5769 Selah. 5542

44:9 But 637 thou hast cast off, 2186 z8804 and put us to shame; 3637 z8686 and goest not forth 3318 z8799 x3808 with our armies. 6635

44:10 Thou makest us to turn 7725 z8686 back 268 from x4480 the enemy: 6862 and they which hate 8130 z8764 us spoil 8154 z8804 for themselves.

44:11 Thou hast given 5414 z8799 us like sheep 6629 [appointed] for meat; 3978 and hast scattered 2219 z8765 us among the heathen. 1471

44:12 Thou sellest 4376 z8799 thy people 5971 for nought, 1952 x3808 and dost not x3808 increase 7235 z8765 [thy wealth] by their price. 4242

44:13 Thou makest 7760 z8799 us a reproach 2781 to our neighbours, 7934 a scorn 3933 and a derision 7047 to them that are round about 5439 us.

44:14 Thou makest 7760 z8799 us a byword 4912 among the heathen, 1471 a shaking 4493 of the head 7218 among the people. 3816

44:15 My confusion 3639 [is] continually 3117 x3605 before x5048 me, and the shame 1322 of my face 6440 hath covered 3680 z8765 me,

44:16 For the voice 6963 x4480 of him that reproacheth 2778 z8764 and blasphemeth; 1442 z8764 by reason 6440 x4480 of the enemy 341 z8802 and avenger. 5358 z8693

44:17 All x3605 this x2063 is come y935 z8804 upon x935 us; yet have we not x3808 forgotten 7911 z8804 thee, neither x3808 have we dealt falsely 8266 z8765 in thy covenant. 1285

44:18 Our heart 3820 is not x3808 turned 5472 z8738 back, 268 neither have our steps 838 declined 5186 z8799 from x4480 thy way; 734

44:19 Though x3588 thou hast sore broken 1794 z8765 us in the place 4725 of dragons, 8577 and covered 3680 z8762 x5921 us with the shadow of death. 6757

44:20 If x518 we have forgotten 7911 z8804 the name 8034 of our God, 430 or stretched out 6566 z8799 our hands 3709 to a strange 2114 z8801 god; 410

44:21 Shall not x3808 God 430 search x2713 this x2063 out? y2713 z8799 for x3588 he x1931 knoweth 3045 z8802 the secrets 8587 of the heart. 3820

44:22 Yea, x3588 for x5921 thy sake are we killed 2026 z8795 all x3605 the day 3117 long; we are counted 2803 z8738 as sheep 6629 for the slaughter. 2878

44:23 Awake, 5782 z8798 why x4100 sleepest 3462 z8799 thou, O Lord? 136 arise, 6974 z8685 cast x2186 [us] not x408 off y2186 z8799 for ever. 5331

44:24 Wherefore x4100 hidest 5641 z8686 thou thy face, 6440 [and] forgettest 7911 z8799 our affliction 6040 and our oppression? 3906

44:25 For x3588 our soul 5315 is bowed down 7743 z8804 to the dust: 6083 our belly 990 cleaveth 1692 z8804 unto the earth. 776

44:26 Arise 6965 z8798 for our help, 5833 and redeem 6299 z8798 us for thy mercies' y2617 sake. x4616 x2617
