1
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. 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.
4
You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob.
5
Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6
For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me.
7
But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.
8
In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. Selah
9
But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.
