Psalm 44:2-4

Common English Bible

² You, by your own hand, removed all the nations,
        but you planted our ancestors.
    You crushed all the peoples,
        but you set our ancestors free.
³ No, not by their own swords
    did they take possession of the land—
        their own arms didn’t save them.
    No, it was your strong hand, your arm,
    and the light of your face
        because you were pleased with them.
⁴ It’s you, God! You who are my king,
    the one who orders salvation for Jacob.
