Psalm 44

Former Times of Help and Present Troubles.

For the music director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.

1God, we have heard with our ears,

Our fathers have told us

The work that You did in their days,

In the days of old.

2You with Your own hand drove out the nations;

Then You planted them;

You afflicted the peoples,

Then You let them go free.

3For by their own sword they did not possess the land,

And their own arm did not save them,

But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence,

For You favored them.

4You are my King, God;

Command victories for Jacob.

5Through You we will push back our adversaries;

Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

6For I will not trust in my bow,

Nor will my sword save me.

7But You have saved us from our adversaries,

And You have put to shame those who hate us.

8In God we have boasted all day long,

And we will give thanks to Your name forever.
