Psalms 44:3

44:3 For they did not conquer ⁶  the land by their swords,

and they did not prevail by their strength, ⁷ 

but rather by your power, ⁸  strength ⁹  and good favor, ¹⁰ 

for you were partial to ¹¹  them.

[10:14]  ¹ tn Heb “listened to the voice of.”

[10:42]  ² tn Heb “at one time.”

[14:14]  ³ tn The word order places emphasis on “the Lord” (Heb “Yahweh”).

[14:14]  ⁴ 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.”

[20:4]  ⁵ tn Or “to save you” (so KJV, NASB, NCV); or “to deliver you.”

[44:3]  ⁶ tn Or “take possession of.”

[44:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “and their arm did not save them.” The “arm” here symbolizes military strength.

[44:3]  ⁸ 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).

[44:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “your arm.”

[44:3]  ¹⁰ 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).

[44:3]  ¹¹ tn Or “favorable toward.”
