Psalms 44:5

Compare all

3 For ^athey did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
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.

4 ^aYou are my King,¹ O God;
¹Command victories for Jacob.

5 Through You ^awe will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

6 For ^aI will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.

7 But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.

8 ^aIn God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. Selah

9 But ^aYou have cast us off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.

Psalms 44:5

Through thee will we push down - Through thy Word, bemeimra , "Thy substantial Word." - Chaldee. If thou be with us, who can be successfully against us? Literally "We will toss them in the air with our horn;" a metaphor taken from an ox or bull tossing the dogs into the air which attack him.

Through thy name - Jehovah; the infinite, the omnipotent, the eternal Being; whose power none is able to resist.
