Psalm 44:5–9

5 Through you we push back our enemies;

through your name we trample our foes.

6 I put no trust in my bow,

my sword does not bring me victory;

7 but you give us victory over our enemies,

you put our adversaries to shame.

8 In God we make our boast all day long,

and we will praise your name forever.

9 But now you have rejected and humbled us;

you no longer go out with our armies.

5 Through thee will we push down our enemies:

Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

6 For I will not trust in my bow,

Neither shall my sword save me.

7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies,

And hast put them to shame that hated us.

8 In God we boast all the day long,

And praise thy name for ever. Selah.

9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame;

And goest not forth with our armies.

5 Only by your power can we push back our enemies;

only in your name can we trample our foes.

6 I do not trust in my bow;

I do not count on my sword to save me.

7 You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies;

you disgrace those who hate us.

8 O God, we give glory to you all day long

and constantly praise your name.

Interlude

9 But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor.

You no longer lead our armies to battle.

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

9 But You have cast us off and put us to shame,

And You do not go out with our armies.

5 With your help we pushed back our enemies.

In your name we trampled those who came against us.

6 I don’t trust my bow to help me,

and my sword can’t save me.

7 You saved us from our foes,

and you made our enemies ashamed.

8 We will praise God every day;

we will praise your name forever.

Selah

9 But you have rejected us and shamed us.

You don’t march with our armies anymore.

5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries:

Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

6 For I will not trust in my bow,

Neither shall my sword save me.

7 But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,

And hast put them to shame that hate us.

8 In God have we made our boast all the day long,

And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah

9 But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,

And goest not forth with our hosts.

5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 6 For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 7 For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us. 8 In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.

9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;

5 With you we can walk over our enemies. 

With your name we can trample those who attack us. 

6 I do not rely on my bow, 

and my sword will never save me. 

7 But you saved us from our enemies. 

You put to shame those who hate us. 

8 All day long we praise our God. 

We give thanks to you forever. 

Selah 

9 But now you have rejected and disgraced us. 

You do not even go along with our armies. 

5 Through You we drive back our foes;

through Your name we trample our enemies.

6 For I do not trust in my bow,

and my sword does not bring me victory.

7 But You give us victory over our foes

and let those who hate us be disgraced.

8 We boast in God all day long;

we will praise Your name forever. Selah

9 But You have rejected and humiliated us;

You do not march out with our armies.

5 Through you we push down our foes;

through your name we tread down our assailants.

6 For not in my bow do I trust,

nor can my sword save me.

7 But you have saved us from our foes

and have put to confusion those who hate us.

8 In God we have boasted continually,

and we will give thanks to your name forever.   Selah

9 Yet you have rejected us and shamed us

and have not gone out with our armies.

5 By you we push down our enemies;

by your name we tread down those who rise up against us.

6 For I do not trust my bow,

and my sword cannot give me victory.

7 Rather you have saved us from our enemies,

and have humiliated those who hate us.

8 In God we boast all the day,

and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah

9 Surely you have rejected and disgraced us,

and have not gone out with our armies.

5 With your help we push our enemies back.

By your power we walk all over them.

6 I don’t trust in my bow.

My sword doesn’t bring me success.

7 But you give us success over our enemies.

You put them to shame.

8 All day long we talk about how great God is.

We will praise your name forever. Selah

9 But now you have turned your back on us and made us low.

You don’t march out with our armies anymore.

5 Through You we will push back our adversaries;

Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

6 For I will not trust in my bow,

Nor will my sword save me.

7 But You have saved us from our adversaries,

And You have put to shame those who hate us.

8 In God we have boasted all day long,

And we will give thanks to Your name forever.

Selah.

9 Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,

And do not go out with our armies.
