1. O God, we have clearly heard;our ancestors have told uswhat you did in their days,in ancient times.
2. You, by your power, defeated nations and settled our fathers on their land;you crushed the people living there and enabled our ancestors to occupy it.
3. For they did not conquer the land by their swords,and they did not prevail by their strength,but rather by your power, strength and good favor,for you were partial to them.
