Psalm 44:1-8
For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A Maskil.
1 O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old.
2 You with Your own hand dispossessed the nations; Then You planted them; You afflicted the peoples, Then You cast them out.
3 For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them.
4 You are my King, O God; Command salvation for Jacob.
5 Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will tread down those who rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, And my sword will not save me.
7 But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us.
8 In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.
