1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.
44:1 Al Músico principal: de los hijos de Coré: Masquil. OH Dios, con nuestros oídos hemos oído, nuestros padres nos han contado, la obra que hiciste en sus días, en los tiempos antiguos.
2 We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.
44:2 Tú con tu mano echaste las gentes, y los plantaste á ellos; afligiste los pueblos, y los arrojaste.
3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
44:3 Porque no se apoderaron de la tierra por su espada, ni su brazo los libró; sino tu diestra, y tu brazo, y la luz de tu rostro, porque te complaciste en ellos.
4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.
44:4 Tú, oh Dios, eres mi rey: manda saludes á Jacob.
5 Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
44:5 Por medio de ti sacudiremos á nuestros enemigos: en tu nombre atropellaremos á nuestros adversarios.
6 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
44:6 Porque no confiaré en mi arco, ni mi espada me salvará.
7 For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.
44:7 Pues tú nos has guardado de nuestros enemigos, y has avergonzado á los que nos aborrecían.
8 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.
44:8 En Dios nos gloriaremos todo tiempo, y para siempre loaremos tu nombre. (Selah.)
9 In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
44:9 Empero [nos] has desechado, y nos has hecho avergonzar; y no sales en nuestros ejércitos.
10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
44:10 Nos hiciste retroceder del enemigo, y saqueáron[nos] para sí los que nos aborrecían.
11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
44:11 Pusístenos como á ovejas para comida, y esparcístenos entre las gentes.
12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.
44:12 Has vendido tu pueblo de balde, y no pujaste en sus precios.
13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
44:13 Pusístenos por vergüenza á nuestros vecinos, por escarnio y por burla á los que nos rodean.
14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
44:14 Pusístenos por proverbio entre las gentes, por movimiento de cabeza en los pueblos.
15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.
44:15 Cada día mi vergüenza está delante de mí, y cúbreme la confusión de mi rostro,
16 All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
44:16 Por la voz del que [me] vitupera y deshonra, por razón del enemigo y del que se venga.
17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
44:17 Todo esto nos ha venido, y no nos hemos olvidado de ti; y no hemos faltado á tu pacto.
18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.
44:18 No se ha vuelto atrás nuestro corazón, ni tampoco se han apartado nuestros pasos de tus caminos.
19 And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
44:19 Cuando nos quebrantaste en el lugar de los dragones, y nos cubriste con sombra de muerte,
20 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.
44:20 Si nos hubiésemos olvidado del nombre de nuestro Dios, ó alzado nuestras manos á dios ajeno,
21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
44:21 ¿No demandaría Dios esto? porque él conoce los secretos del corazón.
22 Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
44:22 Empero por tu causa nos matan cada día; somos tenidos como ovejas para el matadero.
23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
44:23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no te alejes para siempre.
24 Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
44:24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro, y te olvidas de nuestra aflicción, y de la opresión nuestra?
25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
44:25 Porque nuestra alma está agobiada hasta el polvo: nuestro vientre está pegado con la tierra.
26 Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
44:26 Levántate para ayudarnos, y redímenos por tu misericordia.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 44.
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This Psalm is a short one; it satisfies the mental cravings of the hearers, without imposing too severe a trial on the hunger of those fasting.

… of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of with our armies, and innumerable similar passages.
