2Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.
3For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
4Thou thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.
5Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
