1. Psalm 44 (Trinity Psalter) Psalm 44:1-2, 6-10, 22-26 TUNE: How Firm a Foundation CCLI #977558 1

2. O God, we have heard and our fathers have told, What wonders You did in the great days of old. Where nations were crushed and cast out by Your hand, You planted our fathers to dwell in the land. 2

3. No trust will I place in my sword or my bow, For You are our Savior from hater and foe. In God we will boast Who has put them to shame, All day and forever give thanks to Your name. 3

4. But You have forsaken, to shame brought our boasts, No more into battle You go with our hosts. You make us turn back from the foe in dismay, And spoilers who hate us have made us their prey. 4

5. But all the day long for Your sake we’re consumed, Like sheep for the slaughter to death we are doomed. Arouse Yourself! Why are You sleeping, O Lord? Awake! Do not leave us forever ignored. 5

6. O why are You hiding the light of Your face, Forgetting the burden and grief of our race? Our soul is bowed down; we lie crushed in the dust. Rise! Help and redeem us, Your mercy we trust. 6
