MHRPC: Psalm 44A

Psalm 44A: Psalm 44:1-8

Pinneo, C.M.D. [F]

1. ¹ O God, we with our ears have heard,
        Our fathers have us told,
The work that Thou didst in their days,
        Those honored days of old.
² Thou didst the heathen dispossess,
        Then plant them by Thy hand;
Thou didst afflict the peoples all,
        Then spread them through the land.

2. ³ They by their sword gained not the land,
        Nor did their arm them save,
But Thy right hand, Thine arm, Thy face,
        To them Thy favor gave.
⁴ Thou art my King! For Jacob, God,
        Salvation now command.
⁵ Through Thee we shall push back the foes
        That now against us stand.

3. We through Thy name will trample those
        Who adversaries be.
⁶ For in my bow I will not trust,
        Nor will my sword save me.
⁷ But Thou has saved us from our foes,
        Our haters put to shame.
⁸ In God we boasted all the day;
        We'll ever thank Thy name.
