PSALM XLIV. To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. Maschil.
1 WE have heard with our Ears, O God; ‖ us have our Fathers told ‖ what work thou wroughtest in their days; ‖ even in the former days. ‖
2 Thou didst expel the Nations with ‖ thy hand; but plantedst them: ‖ Thou didst afflict the People there, ‖ and thou didst send them out. ‖
3 For it was not by their own Sword ‖ they did possess the Land; ‖ nor was it any arm of theirs ‖ which did deliver them. ‖ But it was thy Right hand, it was ‖ thy Arm which did the thing; ‖ 'Twas the Light of thy face; Because ‖ that thou didst favour them. ‖
