Psalms 44:1-8

1We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us The work You did in their days, In the days of old.

2You drove out the [pagan] nations with Your own hand; Then you planted and established them (Israel); [It was by Your power that] You uprooted the [pagan] peoples, Then You spread them abroad.

3For our fathers did not possess the land [of Canaan] by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, Because You favored and delighted in them.

4You are my King, O God; Command victories and deliverance for Jacob (Israel).

5Through You we will gore our enemies [like a bull]; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me.

7But You have saved us from our enemies, And You have put them to shame and humiliated those who hate us.

8In God we have boasted all the day long, And we will praise and give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.
