Bible in Basic English
For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.
Up! and come to our help, and give us salvation because of your mercy.
— Psalms 44:25-1964, Bible in Basic English
“For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake. ”
“For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth. Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake. ”
“For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth. Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake. For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Lilies." A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.”
“For we lie in the dirt, with our bellies pressed to the ground. Rise up and help us! Rescue us because of your loyal love!”
“For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake. ”
Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.
Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.
Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?
For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.
Up! and come to our help, and give us salvation because of your mercy.
