Psalms 44:3-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 44
3For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them. 4You are my King, God; Command victories for Jacob. 5Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us. 6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. 7But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us. 8In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah 9Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies. 10You cause us to turn back from the enemy; And those who hate us have taken spoils for themselves. 11You turn us over to be eaten like sheep, And have scattered us among the nations.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 44
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, because you were favorable toward them. 4You are my King, my God, who ordains victories for Jacob. 5Through you we drive back our foes; through your name we trample our enemies. 6For I do not trust in my bow, and my sword does not bring me victory. 7But you give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced.
8We boast in God all day long; we will praise your name forever. Selah
9But you have rejected and humiliated us; you do not march out with our armies.
10You make us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have taken plunder for themselves.
11You hand us over to be eaten like sheep and scatter us among the nations.
New Living Translation
4You are my King and my God. You command victories for Israel.
5Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name can we trample our foes.
6I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me.
7You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us.
English Standard Version
Chapter 44
3for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. 4 You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob! 5Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. 6For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. 7But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. 8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah 9But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. 10You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. 11You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations.New International Version
Chapter 44
3It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. 4You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. 5Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. 6I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
8In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
9But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
10You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
11You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
New King James Version
