Psalms 44:1-2

11God, we have heard it for ourselves. Our ancestors told us what you did for them a long time ago.

2You used your power to chase away the other nations, so that our ancestors could live in their land. You punished those nations, and you helped our ancestors to be free.

Notes

  1. 1. Psalms 44:1 Verses 1-8 tell us what God did for the Israelites when they came into the land that he had promised to give to them, Canaan. They did not win the land for themselves, but God gave it to them. Their enemies were the people who lived in the land before they arrived there. In verses 9-22 we read that something bad has happened. The people are saying that they obeyed their part of the covenant, but God still did not take care of them. In verses 23-26 the person who wrote the psalm prays. He asks God to send help quickly. ↩
