Psalms 44:1, 3-4, 6-8, 26

God, we have heard about you. Our ancestors told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

It wasn’t their swords that took the land. It wasn’t their power that gave them victory. But it was your great power and strength. You were with them because you loved them. My God, you are my King. Your commands led Jacob’s people to victory.

I don’t trust my bow to help me, and my sword can’t save me. You saved us from our foes, and you made our enemies ashamed. We will praise God every day; we will praise your name forever.Selah

Get up and help us. Because of your love, save us.
