Psalm 44:24

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Why do you keep looking away? Don't forget our sufferings and all our troubles.

See the chapter Copy

Why have you turned your back and count me your enemy?

Why are you far away, LORD? Why do you hide yourself when I am in trouble?

They say, “God can't see! He's got a blindfold on.”

How much longer, LORD, will you forget about me? Will it be for ever? How long will you hide?

Fight to defend me, Lord God,

You are my mighty rock. Why have you forgotten me? Why must enemies ill-treat me and make me sad?

You treat us like pet doves, but they ill-treat us. Don't keep forgetting us and letting us be fed to those wild animals.

Don't forget the loud shouts of your enemies.

Wake up! Do something, LORD. Be strong and ready. Wake up! Do what you did for our people long ago. Didn't you chop up Rahab the monster?

and said, “You are unfaithful and can't be trusted. So I won't answer your prayers; I'll just watch and see what happens to you.
