Context of Psalms 44:8
6I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. 7You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us.

You no longer lead our armies to battle. 10You make us retreat from our enemies and allow those who hate us to plunder our land.
