Psalms 44:1-11

[1] [[To the chief Musician  for the sons  of Korah,  Maschil.]]  We have heard  with our ears,  O God,  our fathers  have told  us, what work  thou didst  in their days,  of old.  [2] How thou didst drive out  the heathen  with thy hand,  and plantedst  them; how thou didst afflict  the people,  and cast them out.  [3] 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 hadst a favour  unto them. [4] Thou art my King,  O God:  command  deliverances  for Jacob.  [5] Through thee will we push down  our enemies:  through thy name  will we tread them under  that rise up  [6] For I will not trust  in my bow,  neither shall my sword  save  [7] But thou hast saved  us from our enemies,  and hast put them to shame  that hated  [8] In God  we boast  all the day  long, and praise  thy name  for ever.  Selah.  [9] But  thou hast cast off,  and put us to shame;  and goest not forth  with our armies.  [10] Thou makest us to turn  back  from the enemy:  and they which hate  us spoil  for themselves. [11] Thou hast given  us like sheep  appointed for meat;  and hast scattered  us among the heathen.
