And Thou dost plant them . Thou afflictest peoples , and sendest them away . ylt @Psalms:44:3 @For , not by their sword Possessed they the land , And their arm gave not salvation to them , But Thy right hand , and Thine arm , And the light of Thy countenance , Because Thou hadst accepted them . ylt @Psalms:44:4 @Thou [art ] He , my king , O God , Command the deliverances of Jacob . ylt @Psalms:44:5 @By Thee our adversaries we do push , By Thy name tread down our withstanders , ylt @Psalms:44:6 @For , not in my bow do I trust , And my sword doth not save me . ylt @Psalms:44:7 @For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries , And those hating us Thou hast put to shame . ylt @Psalms:44:8 @In God we have boasted all the day , And Thy name to the age we thank .
