Psalm 44:1-8
O Lord, our Ears have often heard
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 44 Lyrics: 1. O Lord, our Ears have often heard,
Our Fathers have us told
Thy mighty Works, wrought in their Days,
And in the Times of old.
2. How thou did'st punish, and eject,
With thine avenging Hand,
The heathen Nations; and did'st place
Thy People in their Land.
3. For they, Possession of the Land,
Gain'd not, by their own Sword,
Neither could their own Arm them save;
But thy Right-hand, O Lord,
Thine Arm, and Presence, with their Hosts,
And thy peculiar Grace.
4. Thou art my King; O God, command
Safety for Jacob's Race.
5. Then, in thy Strength, we'll still go on,
To push down all our Foes;
And, thro' thy Name, tread under Foot,
Such as shall us oppose.
5. For I'll not trust my Bow, nor Sword,
The Victory to gain.
7. But thou hast sav'd us from our Foes,
And made their Hopes in vain.
8. Therefore, in Thee, we make our Boast,
And glory all Day long;
Forever will we praise thy Name,
In our triumphant Song.
Second Part
9. But, now, thou hast rejected us,
With Shame, hast cast us down;
Our Armies thou no more dost lead,
Nor us with Vict'ry crown.
10. Therefore, before our Enemies,
Which spoil us, we have fled.
11. Thou, some, hast giv'n, as Sheep for Meat,
And others captive led.
12. Thy People thou hast sold for nought;
Nor art the richer found.
13. We're to our Neighbours a Reproach;
A Scorn to all around.
14. Thou us among the Heathen, hast,
A taunting Proverb, made;
By foolish People we're contemn'd,
They at us shake the Head.
15. Therefore, from Morn, to Night, our Eyes
See nothing but Disgrace;
And, cover'd with confounding Shame,
I'm forc'd to hide my Face.
16. Because I daily hear the Voice
Of our insulting Foe;
Who us reproach, and Thee blaspheme,
And all their Malice show.
Third Part
17. Yet, we have not forgotten Thee;
Nor false in Covenant prov'd
18. Our Heart's not turned back, nor Steps,
From thy just Ways, remov'd.
19. Tho' thou haft sorely broken us,
Where cruel Dragons roar;
And with the gastly Shades of Death,
Thy People cover'd o'er.
20. Had we, our God's great Name, forgot,
Or to strange Gods bow'd down;
21. Would'st thou not this have searched out?
To Thee all Hearts are known.
22. Yea, we're as Sheep for Slaughter mark'd;
For thy Sake, kill'd all Day.
23. Awake, why sleep'st thou, Lord, arise;
And cast us not away.
24. O wherefore do'st thou hide thy Face,
Unmindful of our Thrall?
25. Our Soul is bow'd to Dust, on Earth
Our Bodies prostrate fall.
26. Arise, and for our Help appear,
The heathen Powers shake;
Redeem us from our Enemies Hand,
For thy great Mercy's Sake.
O Lord, our Ears have often heard
Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 44 Lyrics: 1 Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly
Have told in our attentive Ears,
The mighty Wonders, thou hast done
In Times more ancient far than theirs:
How thou didst plant them by thy Hand,
And drove the Heathen from the Land.
2 For not their Courage, nor their Sword,
To them this great Possession gave;
Nor Strength that from unequal Force,
Their fainting Troops could ever save;
But thy right Hand, which they implor'd,
Thy Presence which they still ador'd.
3 As thee their GOD our Fathers own'd,
So thou art now our sov'reign King;
Oh therefore, as thou didst to them,
To us thy kind Deliv'rance bring;
For thro' thy Name, our Foes we quell,
Whene'er against us they rebel.
4 I'll neither trust my Bow, nor Sword,
When I in Battles fierce engage;
But thee, who hast our Foes subdu'd,
And put to shame their spiteful Rage:
In GOD, from whom the Conquest came,
We will rejoice and bless his Name.
5 But thou hast cast us off, and now
Most shamefully we're forc'd to yield;
For Thou no more vouchsaf'st to lead,
Our vanquish'd Armies to the Field;
To ev'ry Foe we turn in Fight,
And with our Spoil they feast their Spite.
6 To Slaughter doom'd, we fall like Sheep
Into their butch'ring Hands;
Or what's more wretched yet, survive
Dispers'd throughout the Heathen Lands;
Thy People thou valu'd low,
That their Disgrace may greater grow.
7 Reproach'd by all the Neighbours round,
The Heathen's By-word we are grown,
Whose Scorn of us, is both in Speech,
And in provoking Gestures shewn:
My Face in conscious Shame I hide,
Whilst they blaspheme in haughty Pride.
8 On us this Heap of Woes is fall'n,
All this Disgrace we have endur'd,
Yet have not, LORD, renounc'd thy Name,
Or Faith to thee, out GOD abjur'd;
But in thy Paths have kept with Care;
Tho' brought to Danger and Despair.
9 Could we, forgetting thy great Name,
Oh LORD, on other GODs rely,
And not the Searcher of all Hearts,
The treach'rous Crime at once descry?
For thee we daily Wrongs sustain,
And are like Sheep doom'd to be slain.
10 Awake, arise, let seeming Sleep
No longer thee, our GOD, detain;
Nor let us, LORD, who sue for Aid,
Forever sue to thee in vain;
But hasten thou to our Relief,
And let thy Presence banish Grief.
11 Oh wherefore hidest thou thy Face,
From our afflicted ruin'd State?
Whose Souls and Bodies sink to Earth,
Beneath our Grief's oppressive WeightL
Up, LORD, and us in Safety take!
Oh help us for thy Mercie's Sake! Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers; Prayers Of the Church for her Deliverance in Persecution Used With Tune: [Our Fathers, Lord, repeatedly]
Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly
To the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah, Maschil.
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 44 First Line: We with our ears have heard, O God Lyrics: 1 We with our ears have heard, O God,
Our fathers have us told,
What works thou wroughtest in their days,
Ev'n in the times of old
2 How thy hand drave the heathen out,
And planted them thou hast;
How thou the people didst afflict,
And out thy didst them cast.
3 For by their sword they did not get
The land's possession.
Nor was it their own arm that did
Work their salvation;
But thy right hand, thine arm also,
Thy countenances light;
Because that of thine own good will
Thou didst in them delight.
4 Thou art my king, O mighty God,
Thou dost the same endure;
For Jacob by commandement
Deliverance procure.
5 Thro' thee as with an horn we will
Push down our enemies:
We thro' thy name will tread them down
That up against me rise.
6 Because it is not in my bow
That I affiance have:
Nor is it any sword of mine,
That shall at all me save.
7 But thou hast from our foes us sav'd,
And haters put to shame:
8 In God we all the day do boast,
And praise for aye thy name.
9 But now thou hast forsaken us,
And shame upon us cast:
Nor with our military troops
Gone forth to battel hast.
10 Back from before the enemy,
Thou mak'st us to recoyl:
They also that our haters be.
Do from themselves us spoil.
11 Thou hast us given like as sheep,
To slaughter that belong:
Thou hast us also scattered
The heathen folk among.
12 Thou dost thy people set to sale
For that which is no gain:
And by their prices no increase
Of riches dost obtain.
13 Unto our neighbours a reproach
Thou doest us expose:
A scorn we are and mocking stock
To them that us enclose.
14 Among the heathen people thou
A by-word dost us make,
Also among the nations,
At us their head they shake.
15 Before mine eyes continually
Abideth my disgrace:
And likewise with comfounded shame
O'er-covered is my face.
16 By reason of the enemy
And self-revenging wight.
17 Though all of this be come on us,
We have not thee forgot:
Likewise against thy covenant
Dealt falsly have we not.
18 Our hearts not turned back, nor have
Our steps from thy way stray'd.
19 Tho' us thou break'st in dragon's place
And hid'st us in death's shade.
20 Had we forgot God's name, or to
A strange God stretch'd our hands:
21 Shall not God search it out? for he
Hearts secrets understands.
22 Yea, we for thee are all day kill'd,
Counted as sheep to slay:
23 Awake, why sleep'st thou, Lord, arise,
Cast us not off for aye.
24 Thy countenance away from us
O wherefore dost thou hide?
Why dost thou mindless of our grief,
And sore distress abide?
25 For down to dust our soul is bow'd;
To th' earth our bellies cleave
26 O thou that art our help, arise,
In mercy us relieve.
To the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah, Maschil.
Thy glorious deeds, thy mercies, Lord, of old
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 44 Lyrics: 1 Thy glorious deeds, thy mercies, Lord, of old,
Our fathers oft their progeny have told;
Their sons with pious gratitude they've taught,
What mighty wonders thou for them haft wrought.
2 How thou didst thy beneficence display,
And drov'st the nations from their seats away;
Didst the profaners of thy name destroy,
And badst thy people their domains enjoy.
3 For not their strength the mighty work perform'd;
Vainly without thy goodness they had arm'd;
They owe the conquest, the success, to thee;
Thy dread right-hand bestow'd the victory.
4 Justly thy tribes thy hallow'd courts attend;
Propitious hear them, and assistance send.
5 By thee alone supported, we dismay
The vaunting foe, and gain a glorious day;
By thee supported, on their necks we'll tread,
And spurn them to the regions of the dead.
6 In our own bows no confidence we have,
Nor fondly hope, that our own swords can save;
7 But to thy conqu'ring arm our cause commit,
And in thy might our deadly foes defeat.
8 Therefore, while lasts this earth, thy praise we'll sing,
And make our boast of thee, all-pow'rful king.
9 But now thou'st cast us off; thou leav'st us now;
No more the leader of our armies thou:
10 Now from the hostile bands we fly away,
Basely we fly, and prove an easy prey;
11 Expos'd, like sheep devoted to be slain,
We 'mid the nations rove for peace in vain.
12 Thou'st of thy people made a public sale,
Nor the low price does to thy wealth avail.
13 A scorn unto our neighbours we are grown,
Our griefs they laugh at, and they mock our moan.
14 A bye-word we're become--they shake the head--
15 For this, confusion has my face o'er-spread;
With shame I glow, to hear their blasphemies,
To see, with what derision they despise.
17 All this is now our despicable lot;
Yet we thy sacred cov'nant ne'er forgot;
18 Nay; in our paths whatever dangers lay,
Our steady Feet have ne'er declin'd thy way;
19 Tho' sunk in deepest woe, disgrac'd, forlorn,
By vilest foes insulted, tho' we mourn;
Tho' we a life of abject slav'ry breathe,
And tremble on the dreadful verge of death.
20 Had we, O Lord, thy sov'reign pow'r denied,
And on the aid of other Gods relied;
21 Sure thou hadst known it, since to thee confest
Stand forth the inmost secrets of the breast:
22 And yet for thee we all these griefs sustain,
And like the fatlings of the fold are slain.
25 Why slumb'reft thou, O Lord? Awake, awake,
And not for ever thy poor tribes forsake;
24 Why hid thy face? Why this severe neglect?
Why our affliction wilt thou still forget?
25 With grief o'erburden'd, in the dust we lie,
Our weaken'd limbs their wonted aid deny,
26 Awake, awake; redeem us from our foes,
And let thy mercy dissipate our woes.
Thy glorious deeds, thy mercies, Lord, of old

Author: Albrecht Kronenberger Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 44 Lyrics: 1. De niaj patroj, Di', ni ofte aŭdis,
ke Vi favoras. Ili danke laŭdis
Vin, kiu forte helpis jar' post jaro
per granda faro.
2. Do ni kuraĝas kun animo pia
voki al Vi el malfeliĉo nia.
Ĉu Vi ne vidas nian malhonoron,
honton, angoron?
3. Ho, kial dormas Vi, dum ni mizeras?
Kial vizaĝo Via ne aperas?
Nin ne forgesu! Helpi nin leviĝu!
Aŭdu! Vekiĝu! Used With Tune: HERZLIEBSTER JESU
