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

O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old

for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob!

For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah

Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!
