Context of Psalms 44:7
5Because of your power, we can knock down our enemies. Because of your strength, we can beat them down. 6I do not trust in my bow and arrows. It is not my sword that has helped me to win the fight. It is you who rescues us from our enemies. You bring shame on the people that hate us. 8Every day, we praise you, God. We will always thank you, all the time, because you are great! Selah. 9But now you have turned against us. You have made us ashamed. When our armies go out to fight a battle, you no longer go with us.
