Psalm 44:1-26 Redemption Remembered in Present Dishonor / Former Times of Help and Present Troubles
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.

Psalm 44:1-3
1 We have heard with our ears, O God,
Our fathers have told us,
The deeds You did in their days,
In days of old:
2
You drove out the nations with Your hand,
But them You planted;
You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
3
For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
Because You favored them.

Psalm 44:4-8
4
You are my King, O God;
Command victories for Jacob.
5
Through You we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6
For I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.
7
But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.
8
In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. Selah

Psalm 44:23-26
23
Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
24
Why do You hide Your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression?
25
For our soul is bowed down to the dust;
Our body clings to the ground.
26
Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
