Psalms 44
1 Ref > We have heard with our ears, God; Our fathers have told us, What work you did in their days, In the days of old.
2 Ref You drove out the nations with your hand, But you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, But you spread them abroad.
3 Ref For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, Because you were favorable to them.
4 Ref You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!
5 Ref Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.
6 Ref For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.
7 Ref But you have saved us from our adversaries, And have shamed those who hate us.
8 Ref In God we have made our boast all day long, We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
9 Ref But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, And don't go out with our armies.
10 Ref You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 Ref You have made us like sheep for food, And have scattered us among the nations.
