New Living Translation

Psalms 44:5-13 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. Only by your power can we push back our enemies;only in your name can we trample our foes.

6. I do not trust in my bow;I do not count on my sword to save me.

7. You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies;you disgrace those who hate us.

8. O God, we give glory to you all day longand constantly praise your name.Interlude

9. But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor.You no longer lead our armies to battle.

10. You make us retreat from our enemiesand allow those who hate us to plunder our land.

11. You have butchered us like sheepand scattered us among the nations.

12. You sold your precious people for a pittance,making nothing on the sale.

13. You let our neighbors mock us.We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
