Psalms 44

Gen Z: Psalms 44

1We heard it straight up, God, our fam told us about the dope stuff you did back in the day.

2You straight-up kicked out the haters with your hands, then planted us here; you made the people bounce.

3They didn’t snag the land with their own swords; it was your right hand and the glow of your face that saved them, no cap.

4You’re my King, God; drop those deliverances for Jacob, fr.

5With you, we’ll take down our foes; through your name, we’ll step on anyone who tries to flex on us.

6I’m not trusting my bow, and my sword ain’t saving me, periodt.

7But you’ve saved us from the haters and made those who hate us look sus.

8We’re flexin’ on God all day, and we’ll praise your name forever. Selah.

9But you’ve ghosted us and made us look bad; you’re not rolling with our squad.

10You make us retreat from the enemy, and those who hate us are out here vibing off our losses.

11You’ve got us feeling like sheep ready for the grill, scattered among the vibes of the non-believers.

12You’re selling your people for nothing, and it ain’t boosting your wealth, fr.

13You’ve made us a joke to our neighbors, like a total meme to everyone around us.

14You’ve turned us into a byword among the non-believers, and people are just shaking their heads.

15My confusion is always on blast, and the shame of my face is covering me, no cap.

16It’s the sound of haters coming at me, thanks to the enemy and the one seeking revenge.

17All this has hit us hard; still, we haven’t forgotten you or played you dirty in our deal.

18Our hearts aren’t turned back, and we haven’t stepped away from your path, periodt.

19Even though you’ve really broken us in the dragon zone and covered us with that shadow of death.

20If we’ve forgotten the name of our God or reached out to some random god;

21Yo, doesn’t God peep everything? He knows all the secrets in our hearts, no cap.

22For real, we getting wrecked all day, just like sheep headed for the chop.

23Wake up, Lord! Why you snoozing? Don’t ghost us forever, fam.

24Why you hiding, though? You forgetting our struggle and pain? That’s sus.

25Our souls are lowkey crushed, like we’re straight up on the ground.

26Step up and help us out, please! Do it for the sake of your mercy, fr.

KJV: Psalms 44

1We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

2How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

3For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

4Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

5Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

9But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

10Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

12Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

14Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

15My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

19Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

23Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

25For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

26Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
