1. God, we have heard about you. Our fathers told us what you did in their lifetime. They told us what you did long ago.
2. With your great power you took this land from other people, and you gave it to us. You crushed those foreigners and forced them to leave this land.
3. It was not our fathers’ swords that took the land. It was not their strong arms that brought them victory. It was your power. It was because you accepted them and smiled down on them.
4. God, you are my king. Give the command and lead Jacob’s people to victory.
5. We need your help to push our enemies back. Only in your name can we trample those who attacked us.
6. I don’t put my trust in my bow. My sword cannot save me.
7. You are the one who saved us from our enemies. You are the one who put our enemies to shame.
8. We have praised you all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Selah
9. But you left us and put us to shame. You did not go with us into battle.
