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.
4 You are my king, O God!Decree Jacob’s deliverance!
5 By your power we will drive back our enemies;by your strength we will trample down our foes!
6 For I do not trust in my bow,and I do not prevail by my sword.
7 For you deliver us from our enemies;you humiliate those who hate us.
