1. WE HAVE heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us [what] work You did in their days, in the days of old.
2. You drove out the nations with Your hand and it was Your power that gave [Israel] a home by rooting out the [heathen] peoples, but [Israel] You spread out.
3. For they got not the land [of Canaan] in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance [did it], because You were favorable toward and did delight in them.
4. You are my King, O God; command victories and deliverance for Jacob (Israel).
