Psalm 44:1-12
Psalm 44
For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah.
God, we have heard what you did.
Those who came before us have told us
what you did in their days,
in days long ago.
By your power you drove out the nations.
You gave our people homes in the land.
You crushed the people who were there.
And you made our people do well.
They didn’t win the land with their swords.
They didn’t gain success by their own power.
Your powerful right hand and your mighty arm gave them victory.
You gave them success because you loved them.
You are my King and my God.
You give victories to the people of Jacob.
With your help we push back our enemies.
By your power we walk all over them.
I put no trust in my bow.
My sword doesn’t bring me victory.
But you give us victory over our enemies.
You put them to shame.
All day long we talk about how great God is.
We will praise your name forever.
But now you have turned your back on us and made us humble.
You don’t march out with our armies anymore.
You made us turn and run from our enemies.
They have taken what belongs to us.
You handed us over to be eaten up like sheep.
You have scattered us among the nations.
You sold your people for very little.
You didn’t gain anything when you sold them.
