Psalm 44:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³for not by their own sword did they win the land,
    nor did their own arm give them victory;
but thy right hand, and thy arm,
    and the light of thy countenance;
    for thou didst delight in them.

⁴Thou art my King and my God,
who ordainest^[a] victories for Jacob.
⁵Through thee we push down our foes;
through thy name we tread down our assailants.
