Psalm 44:3-7

Christian Standard Bible

³For they did not take the land by their sword—
their arm did not bring them victory—
but by your right hand, your arm,
and the light of your face,^(A)
because you were favorable toward them.^(B)

⁴You are my King, my God,
who ordains^[a] victories for Jacob.^(C)
⁵Through you we drive back our foes;
through your name we trample our enemies.^(D)
⁶For I do not trust in my bow,
and my sword does not bring me victory.^(E)
⁷But you give us victory over our foes
and let those who hate us be disgraced.^(F)
