1. We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told us,The deeds You did in their days,In days of old:
2. You drove out the nations with Your hand,But them You planted;You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
3. For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,Nor did their own arm save them;But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,Because You favored them.
