Psalms 44:2-13

²uprooting and crushing the nations, then planting and settling them. For it wasn't their own sword that won them the land,

³it was not their own arm that brought them the victory. Yours was the hand and the arm, yours was the face that shone on them with favour.

⁴It was you, my king and my God, that ordained the victories of Jacob.

⁵Through you we can thrust back our foes, and by your name tread down our assailants:

⁶for not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword win me the victory.

⁷Our victory comes from you, and confusion to those who hate us.

⁸In God we boast all the day long, and your name will we praise forever. Selah

⁹Yet you have spurned and disgraced us, in not going forth with our armies,

¹⁰and in making us flee from the foe, so that those who hated us plundered us.

¹¹You have let us be eaten like sheep, you have scattered us over the world,

¹²sold your people for a pittance, and getting no gain from their price.

¹³You have made us the butt of our neighbours, the derision and scorn of all round us.
