Psalms 44:4
2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
3 For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
