1 We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told us,The deeds You did in their days,In days of old:
2 You drove out the nations with Your hand,But them You planted;You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,Nor did their own arm save them;But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,Because You favored them.
4 You are my King, O God;Command victories for Jacob.
5 Through You we will push down our enemies;Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow,Nor shall my sword save me.
