44:2 You, by your power, 1 defeated nations and settled our fathers on their land; 2
you crushed 3 the people living there 4 and enabled our ancestors to occupy it. 5
44:3 For they did not conquer 6 the land by their swords,
and they did not prevail by their strength, 7
but rather by your power, 8 strength 9 and good favor, 10
for you were partial to 11 them.
44:4 You are my 12 king, O God!
Decree 13 Jacob’s 14 deliverance!
44:5 By your power 15 we will drive back 16 our enemies;
by your strength 17 we will trample down 18 our foes! 19
44:6 For I do not trust in my bow,
and I do not prevail by my sword.
44:7 For you deliver 20 us from our enemies;
you humiliate 21 those who hate us.
