Psalms 44:1-8

¹For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.

²Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.

³For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.

⁴Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.

⁵Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

⁶For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.

⁷But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah
