Psalms 44:3

44:3 For they did not conquer ¹⁰  the land by their swords,

for you were partial to ¹⁵  them.

¹ tn The Hebrew participle indicates imminent future action here, though some English versions treat it as a predictive future (“will go ahead of you,” NCV; cf. also TEV, CEV).

² tn Heb “according to all which he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.”

³ tn Or “to save you” (so KJV, NASB, NCV); or “to deliver you.”

⁴ tn The word order places emphasis on “the Lord” (Heb “Yahweh”).

⁵ tn The imperfect tense needs to be interpreted in contrast to all that Yahweh will be doing. It may be given a potential imperfect nuance (as here), or it may be obligatory to follow the command to stand firm: “you must be still.”

⁶ tn Heb “at one time.”

⁷ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

⁸ tn Heb “from the remnant of the Rephaites.”

⁹ tn Or “dispossessed them.”

¹⁰ tn Or “take possession of.”

¹¹ tn Heb “and their arm did not save them.” The “arm” here symbolizes military strength.

¹² tn Heb “your right hand.” The Lord’s “right hand” here symbolizes his power to protect and deliver (see Pss 17:7; 20:6; 21:8).

¹³ tn Heb “your arm.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “light of your face.” The idiom “light of your face” probably refers to a smile (see Eccl 8:1), which in turn suggests favor and blessing (see Num 6:25; Pss 4:6; 31:16; 67:1; 80:3, 7, 19; 89:15; Dan 9:17).

¹⁵ tn Or “favorable toward.”
