2O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old.
3Thine hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict the nations, and cast them out.
4For they inherited not the land by their own sword, and their own arm did not deliver them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou wert well pleased in them.
5Thou art indeed my King and my God, who commandest deliverances for Jacob.
