1. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the times of old.
2. How you did drive out the nations with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the people, and cast them out.
3. For they got not 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 countenance, because you had favor unto them.
4. You are my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5. Through you will we push down our enemies: through your name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
