Psalms 44:1-12

1. 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. 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. 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. 4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

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

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

7. 7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

8. 8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

9. 9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

10. 10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

11. 11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

12. 12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
