Psalms 44:3-14

³They did not conquer the land using their swords; it was not through their own strength that the victory was won—it was by your strength, your power, and your presence with them, because you loved them.

⁴God, you are my King; command victories for Jacob!

⁵Only through you can we repel our enemies; only in your name can we defeat our opponents.

⁶I do not trust my bow; I do not have confidence in my sword to save me.

⁷You are the one who saves us from our enemies; you defeat those who hate us.

⁸God, we proudly thank you all day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.

⁹But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you no longer accompany our armies.

¹⁰You made us run from our enemies, and those who hate us have taken whatever they wanted.

¹¹You have handed us over like sheep to be slaughtered; you have scattered us among the other nations.

¹²You have sold your own people for next to nothing, making no profit on the sale.

¹³You have made a mockery of us before our neighbors, we are ridiculed and laughed at by those around us.

¹⁴You have made us a joke to the other nations; they scornfully shake their heads at us.
