1. We have heard with our oznayim, O Elohim, Avoteinu have told us, what po'al (work) Thou hast wrought in their days, in the times of old.
2. (3) How Thou didst drive out the Goyim with Thy Yad, but plantedst them; how Thou didst afflict the people, but for them Thou madest room.
3. (4) For they got not eretz in possession by their own cherev, neither did their own zero'a save them, but Thy Yamin (Right Hand), and Thine Zero'a, and the ohr (light) of Thy countenance, because Thou favored them.
4. (5) Thou art my Melech, O Elohim; command yeshu'ot (deliverances) for Ya'akov.
5. (6) Through Thee will we push down our enemies; through Thy Shem will we trample them under that rise up against us.
6. (7) For I will not trust in my keshet (bow), neither shall my cherev save me.
7. (8) But Thou hast saved us from tzareinu (our enemies), and hast put them to shame that hated us.
