Text of Psalm 44
1We remember you, Lord, remembering your deeds from long ago.
2We wake up our hearts, eager for your presence, seeking your love and mercy.
3But now, we feel abandoned, challenged by enemies and suffering.
4Our enemies have seized our land, and we are humiliated before them.
5Yet, in our hearts, we still trust in you, our shield and refuge.
6No matter how much shame we face, we will not retreat from your mercy.
7For you are the God who loves unconditionally, your love remains steadfast.
8We cry out to you day and night, hoping that you will remember your promises.
9But our pain deepens as we see no deliverance, as if you have turned away.
10Still, we do not forget your love, for your covenant endures forever.
11Our enemies mock us, but we cling to your mercy, praying for salvation.
12Awake, Lord, why do you sleep while we suffer?
13Do not hide your face from us, for we are your people.
14Remember your love, and come to rescue us from this shame.
15Rise up and help us, for only your strength can save us.
16We confess our weakness and turn to you, trusting in your eternal love.
17Even in our despair, we hold onto hope, knowing you are faithful.
18Our soul remembers your goodness and longs for your salvation.
19Lord, restore us and glorify your name among us.
20We await your saving grace, trusting in your mercy forever.
