Psalm 44:4-8

Come to Our Help

4 l You are my King, O God;
m ordain salvation for Jacob!
5 Through you we n push down our foes;
through your name we o tread down those who rise up against us.
6 For not in p my bow do I trust,
nor can my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our foes
and have q put to shame those who hate us.
8 r In God we have boasted continually,
and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah
