Psalms 44:5
Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
BSB
ASV
Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
KJV
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
Through thee will we push down our enemies. The fight was very close, bows were of no avail, and swords failed to be of service, it came to daggers drawing, and hand to hand wrestling, pushing and tugging. Jacob's God was renewing in the seed of Jacob their father's wrestling. And how fared it with faith then? Could she stand foot to foot with her foe and hold her own? Yea, verily, she came forth victorious from the encounter, for she is great at a close push, and overthrows all her adversaries, the Lord being her helper.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
