Psalms 44:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 44:6

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.

10 You make us ^aturn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken¹ spoil for themselves.
