2
Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.
3
For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.
4
You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.
5
Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.
6
I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation.
7
But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.
8
Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)
9
But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.
10
Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.
11
You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.
12
You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.
