Psalms 44:1-8

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

2You drove out the nations with Your hand, But them You planted; You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.

3For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them.

4You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob.

5Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

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

7But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.

8In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. Selah
