1“To the chief musician, for the sons of Korach, a Maskil.” (44:2) O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, deeds which thou hadst done in their days, in times of old.
2(44:3) Thou, with thy hand, didst indeed drive out nations, and plant them; thou didst ill-treat people, and cause them to spread out.
3(44:4) For not by their sword did they obtain possession of the land, and their own arm brought them no victory; but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst given them thy favor.
4(44:5) Thou art my King, O God: ordain salvation for Jacob.
5(44:6) Through thee will we butt down our assailants: through thy name will we tread under foot our opponents.
6(44:7) For not in my bow will I trust, and my sword shall not help me.
7(44:8) But thou helpest us against our assailants, and those that hate us thou puttest to shame.
8(44:9) Of God we boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. Selah.
9(44:10) But now thou hast cast off, and put us to the blush, and goest not forth with our armies.
10(44:11) Thou causest us to turn back from before our assailant: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11(44:12) Thou givest us up like sheep for food, and among the nations hast thou dispersed us.
12(44:13) Thou sellest thy people for no value, and acquirest no gain by their price.
