Psalms 44:1-3

1God, 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.

3Our ancestors did not get the land by the power of their own swords. Their own strength did not win the fight. It was your own power and strength that did it! You were kind to them because you were their friend.
