PSALM 44. Deus, auribus.
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us: what thou hast done in their time of old;
2 How thou hast driven out the heathen with thy hand, and planted them in: how thou hast destroyed the nations and cast them out.
3 For they gat not the land in possession through their own sword: neither was it their own arm that helped them;
4 But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou hadst a favour unto them.
5 Thou art my King, O God: send help unto Jacob.
6 Through thee will we overthrow our enemies: and in thy Name will we tread them under, that rise up against us.
7 For I will not trust in my bow: it is not my sword that shall help me;
8 But it is thou that savest us from our enemies: and puttest them to confusion that hate us.
9 We make our boast of God all day long: and will praise thy Name for ever.
