Psalms 44:1-10
-
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
-
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
-
3 For they got 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 hadst a favour unto them.
-
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
-
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
-
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
-
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
-
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
-
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
-
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
