Psalm 44:2-4

New Catholic Bible

^2 [a]O God, we have heard with our ears,
    our ancestors have told us,
of the deeds you performed in their days,
    in the days of old.
³ To establish them in the land,
    you drove out the nations with your own hand;
you crushed the peoples
    so that our ancestors could flourish.
⁴ It was not their own swords that won them the land,
    nor did their own arms make them victorious;
rather, it was your right hand and your arm
    and the light of your face,^[b]
    because you loved them.
