Psalm 44:3-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³for not by their own sword did they win the land,
    nor did their own arm give them victory;
but your right hand, and your arm,
    and the light of your countenance,
    for you delighted in them.

⁴You are my King and my God;
    you command^[a] victories for Jacob.
⁵Through you we push down our foes;
    through your name we tread down our assailants.
⁶For not in my bow do I trust,
    nor can my sword save me.
⁷But you have saved us from our foes,
    and have put to confusion those who hate us.
