Psalms 44:2
Psalms 44:1-3 The Message (MSG)
We’ve been hearing about this, God, all our lives. Our fathers told us the stories their fathers told them, How single-handedly you weeded out the godless from the fields and planted us, How you sent those people packing but gave us a fresh start. We didn’t fight for this land; we didn’t work for it—it was a gift! You gave it, smiling as you gave it, delighting as you gave it.

God, we’ve heard about all the glorious miracles you’ve done for our ancestors in days gone by.

Now the people of Israel cover the land from one end to the other, all because of your grace and power!
