1. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us,what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old:
2. you with your own hand drove out the nations,but them you planted;you afflicted the peoples,but them you set free;
3. for not by their own sword did they win the land,nor did their own arm save them,but your right hand and your arm,and the light of your face, for you delighted in them.
4. You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob!
5. Through you we push down our foes;through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.
