1. We have heard with our ears, O God,our fathers have told uswhat work You did in their days,in the days of old:
2. how You drove out the nations with Your hand,and planted others instead;how You afflicted peoples,and sent them away.
3. For they did not take possession of the land by their own sword,nor did their own arm save them;but it was Your right hand, and Your arm,and the light of Your countenance, because You had favor on them.
4. You are my King, O God;command deliverances for Jacob.
