> We have heard with our ears, God; Our fathers have told us, What work you did in their days, In the days of old.
2
You drove out the nations with your hand, But you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, But you spread them abroad.
3
For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, Because you were favorable to them.
4
You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!
5
Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.
6
For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.
7
But you have saved us from our adversaries, And have put them to shame who hate us.
8
In God have we made our boast all day long, We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
9
But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, And don't go out with our armies.
10
You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11
You have made us like sheep for food, And have scattered us among the nations.
