Psalms 44 — Context

For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.

You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.

Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.

I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation.

But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.
