Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 44

O God, we have heard of Your wonders,
our teachers have told us of Your mighty works in days past.

By Your hand, the faithful stood strong,
not by their own power, but by Your love and light.

You, O God, are my King, my refuge—
through You, we find strength and purpose.

Not in strength, not in might,
but in Your presence, we overcome.

Every day, we will lift our voices in gratitude,
praising Your name throughout all time.

Yet now, we feel distant from Your shelter;
trials have risen like waves upon us.

Still, we have not turned away,
our hearts have not forgotten Your love.

Rise up, O God, in Your mercy!

Awaken and shine Your light upon us once more.

For Your love is steadfast,
and in You, we place our trust.
