(43-1) <Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.> (43-2) We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.
2
(43-3) Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
3
(43-4) For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.
4
(43-5) Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
5
(43-6) Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
6
(43-7) For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.
7
(43-8) But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.
8
(43-9) In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
9
(43-10) But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
