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

We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.

For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them. Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.

For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me. But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us. In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. [Selah

Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
