1. We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.
2. Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.
3. For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.
4. Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.
5. Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
