Psalms 44:1-8

1God, we have heard with our ears — our ancestors have told us — the work you accomplished in their days, in days long ago:

2In order to plant them, you displaced the nations by your hand; in order to settle them, you brought disaster on the peoples.

3For they did not take the land by their sword — their arm did not bring them victory — but by your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable toward them.

4You are my King, my God, who ordains victories for Jacob.

5Through you we drive back our foes; through your name we trample our enemies.

6For I do not trust in my bow, and my sword does not bring me victory.

7But you give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced.

8We boast in God all day long; we will praise your name forever.Selah
