1  O God, we have heard with our ears,

dour fathers have told us,

what deeds you performed in their days,

ein the days of old:

2  you with your own hand fdrove out the nations,

but gthem you planted;

you afflicted the peoples,

but hthem you set free;

3  for not iby their own sword did they win the land,

nor did their own arm save them,

but your right hand and your arm,

and jthe light of your face,

kfor you delighted in them.

4  lYou are my King, O God;

mordain salvation for Jacob!

5  Through you we npush down our foes;

through your name we otread down those who rise up against us.

6  For not in pmy bow do I trust,

nor can my sword save me.

7  But you have saved us from our foes

and have qput to shame those who hate us.

8  rIn God we have boasted continually,

and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah

9  But you have srejected us and disgraced us

and thave not gone out with our armies.

10  You have made us uturn back from the foe,

and those who hate us have gotten spoil.

11  You have made us like vsheep for slaughter

and have wscattered us among the nations.

12  xYou have sold your people for a trifle,

demanding no high price for them.
