Psalms 44 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 We have shamai (hearken / hear) with our azan (ear), Alahayam (); our ab (father) have sapar (book) us, what pail (work) you pail (did) in their yamay (days), in the yamay (days) of qadam (old).

2 You yarash (drove) out the gawayam (heathen) with your yad (hand), but you natai (planted) them. You raii (wicked / dysfunctional / evil) the laamayam (peoples), but you shalach (send) them abroad.

3 For they didn't yarash (get) the aratz (Earth/land) in yarash (possession) by their own charab (sword), neither did their own zarawai (arm) yashai (salvation) them; but your right yamayan (right hand), and your zarawai (arm), and the awar (light) of your panayam (face), because you were favorable to them.

4 You are my malak (king), Alahayam (). Tzawah (command) victories for Yaiqab (Jacob)!

5 Through you, will we nagach (push) down our tzar (oppressor / distressor). Through your sham (name), will we bawas (tread) them under who qawam (rise up) up against us.

6 For I will not batach (trust) in my qashath (bow), neither shall my charab (sword) yashai (salvation) me.

7 But you have yashai (salvation) us from our tzar (oppressor / distressor), and have bawash (shamed) those who shanaa (hate) us.

8 In Alahayam () we have halal (praise) our boast all yawam (day) long, we will give nawadah (thanks) to your sham (name) iwalam (forever). Salah (selah).

9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don't yatzaa (go out / come out) out with our tzabaa (troop).

10 You make us shawab (turn) achawar (back) from the tzar (oppressor / distressor). Those who shanaa (hate) us take shasah (spoil) for themselves.

11 You nathan (give) made us like tzaan (sheep) for maakal (food), and have zarah (scattered) us among the gawayam (heathen).

12 You makar (sell) your im (nation / people) for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

13 You shawam (place / establish / appoint) us a charapah (reproach) to our neighbors, a scoffing and a qalas (derision) to those who are around us.

14 You shawam (place / establish / appoint) us a mashal (byword) among the gawayam (heathen), a manawad (shaking) of the raash (head) among the amayam (peoples).

15 All bashath (day) long my dishonor is before me, and bashath (shame) kasah (covers) my panayam (face),

16 At the taunt of charap (one) who reproaches and verbally abuses, panayam (face) of the ayab (enemy) and the avenger.

17 All this bawaa (bring) come on us, yet have we not shakach (forgotten) you, Neither have we been false to your barayath (covenant).

18 Our lab (heart) has not sawag (turned) achawar (back), neither have our ashar (who/that) strayed from your arach (path),

19 Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and kasah (covered) us with the shadow of tzalamawath (death).

20 If we have shakach (forgotten) the sham (name) of our Alahayam (), or parash (spread) forth our kap (hands) to a zawar (strange) Al;

21 Won't Alahayam () chaqar (search) this out? For he yadai (knows) the thailamawath (secrets) of the lab (heart).

22 Yes, for your sake we are harag (kill) all yawam (day) long. We are chashab (regarded) as tzaan (sheep) for the tabachah (slaughter).

23 Iwar (rouse / awaken) up! Why do you sleep, Adanay ()? Arise! Don't reject us natzach (forever).

24 Why do you sathar (hide) your panayam (face), and shakach (forget) our inay (affliction) and our lachatz (oppression)?

25 For our napash (soul) is shawach (bowed) down to the ipar (dust). Our batan (body) clings to the aratz (Earth/land).

26 Qawam (rise up) up to izarah (help) us. Padah (redeem) us for your loving chasad (grace)’ sake.
