Psalm 44:1-3

New International Reader's Version

44 God, we have heard what you did.
    Those who came before us have told us
what you did in their days,
    in days long ago.
² By your power you drove out the nations.
    You gave our people homes in the land.
You crushed the people who were there.
    And you made our people do well.
³ They didn’t win the land with their swords.
    They didn’t gain success by their own power.
Your powerful right hand and your mighty arm gave them victory.
    You gave them success because you loved them.
