New Testament

Psalms 44:4-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. Not with their own swords did they conquer the land,nor did their own arms bring victory;It was your right hand, your own arm,the light of your face for you favored them.

5. You are my king and my God,who bestows victories on Jacob.

6. Through you we batter our foes;through your name we trample our adversaries.

7. Not in my bow do I trust,nor does my sword bring me victory.

8. You have brought us victory over our enemies,shamed those who hate us.

9. In God we have boasted all the day long;your name we will praise forever.Selah

10. But now you have rejected and disgraced us;you do not march out with our armies.

11. You make us retreat before the foe;those who hate us plunder us at will.

12. You hand us over like sheep to be slaughtered,scatter us among the nations.

13. You sell your people for nothing;you make no profit from their sale.

14. You make us the reproach of our neighbors,the mockery and scorn of those around us.
