Redemption Remembered in Present Dishonor
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
aOur fathers have told us,
The deeds You did in their days,
In days of old:
But them You planted;
You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
bBecause You favored them.
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
| << Psalms 44:1 | Psalms 44:3 >> |
