CHAP. XLIV.
1 The Church, in memory of former fauours, 7 complaineth of their present euils. 17 Professing her integritie, 24 She feruently prayeth for succour.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliuerances for Iacob.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword saue me.
7 But thou hast saued vs from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated vs.
8 In God we boast all the day long: and praise thy Name for euer. Selah.
9 But thou hast cast off and put vs to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Thou makest vs to turne backe from the enemie: and they which hate vs, spoile for themselues.
11 Thou hast giuen vs like sheepe appointed for meate: and hast scattered vs among the heathen.11
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and doest not increase thy wealth by their price.12
13 Thou makest vs a reproch to our neighbours, a scorne and a derision to them that are round about vs.13
14 Thou makest vs a by-word among the heathen: a shaking of the head among the people.14
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me.
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth, and blasphemeth: by reason of the enemie and auenger.
18 Our heart is not turned backe: neither haue our steps declined from thy way,18
19 Though thou hast sore broken vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
20 If wee haue forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange God:
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea for thy sake are wee killed all the day long: wee are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.22
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast vs not off for euer.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our affliction, and our oppression?
25 For our soule is bowed downe to the dust; our belly cleaueth vnto the earth.
26 Arise for our helpe, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.26

44:4 My king - The whole people speak as one man, being united in one body.
44:11 Scattered - Those who were not slain are carried into captivity, and dispersed in several places.
44:16 Avenger - Who executeth both God's and his own vengeance upon me.
44:17 Yet - Although we cannot excuse ourselves from many other sins, yet through thy grace we have kept ourselves from apostacy and idolatry, notwithstanding all examples and provocations.
44:18 Turned - From thy worship to idols.
44:19 Broken us - By inflicting upon us one breach after another, thou hast at last brought us to this pass. The place - A place extremely desolate, such as dragons love, #Isa 13:21|,22, and therefore full of horror, and danger. Covered us - With deadly horrors and miseries.
44:22 Yea - Because we are constant in thy worship, which they abhor.
44:25 Our soul - Our persons. Our belly - We are not only thrown down to the earth, but we lie there like dead carcases.
