Psalm 44:4-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Not with their own swords did they conquer the land,(A)
nor did their own arms bring victory;
It was your right hand, your own arm,
the light of your face for you favored them.(B)
5 You are my king and my God,(C)
who bestows victories on Jacob.
6 Through you we batter our foes;
through your name we trample our adversaries.
7 Not in my bow do I trust,
nor does my sword bring me victory.
8 You have brought us victory over our enemies,
shamed those who hate us.
