Psalm 44:2-9
New King James Version
2 (A)You drove out the [a]nations with Your hand,
But them You planted;
You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
3 For (B)they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
(C)Because You favored them.
4 (D)You are my King, [b]O God;
[c]Command victories for Jacob.
5 Through You (E)we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6 For (F)I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.
7 But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.
8 (G)In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. Selah
9 But (H)You have cast us off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.
