Psalms 44:1-5

Thomson(i) 1 For the conclusion. For the sons of Kore. A Psalm for Understanding. O God, we have heard with our ears: our fathers have told us the work which thou didst in the days of old. 2 When thy hand had extirpated nations, thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict nations and drive them out. 3 For they took not possession of the land with their own sword: nor was it their own arm that saved them: but thy right hand and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou tookest pleasure in them. 4 Thou, who didst command the deliverances of Jacob; even thou art my king and my God. 5 By thee we can push down our enemies, and through thy name, scorn them who rise up against us.
