Contemporary English Version (US Version) Psalms 44:1-8
Our God, our ancestors told us what wonders you worked and we listened carefully. You chased off the nations by causing them trouble with your powerful arm. Then you let our ancestors take over their land. Their strength and weapons were not what won the land and gave them victory! You loved them and fought with your powerful arm and your shining glory. You are my God and King, and you give victory to the people of Jacob. By your great power, we knocked our enemies down and trampled on them. I don't depend on my arrows or my sword to save me. But you saved us from our hateful enemies, and you put them to shame. We boast about you, our God, and we are always grateful.
