3 It was not by their sword that they won the land,

nor did their arm bring them victory;

it was your right hand, your arm,

and the light of your face, for you loved them.

3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,

Neither did their own arm save them:

But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,

Because thou hadst a favour unto them.

3 They did not conquer the land with their swords;

it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.

It was your right hand and strong arm

and the blinding light from your face that helped them,

for you loved them.

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.

3 It wasn’t their swords that took the land.

It wasn’t their power that gave them victory.

But it was your great power and strength.

You were with them because you loved them.

3 For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,

Neither did their own arm save them;

But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,

Because thou wast favorable unto them.

3 For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.

3 It was not with their swords that they took possession of the land. 

They did not gain victory with their own strength. 

It was your right hand, your arm, 

and the light of your presence ⸤that did it⸥, 

because you were pleased with them. 

3 For they did not take the land by their sword—

their arm did not bring them victory—

but by Your right hand, Your arm,

and the light of Your face,

for You were pleased with them.

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

nor did their own arm give them victory;

but your right hand, and your arm,

and the light of your countenance,

for you delighted in them.

3 For not with their sword

did they possess the land,

and their arm did not give them victory.

Rather it was your right hand and your arm

and the light of your presence,

because you delighted in them.

3 They didn’t win the land with their swords.

They didn’t gain success with their powerful arms.

Your powerful right hand and your mighty arm gave them success.

You looked on them with favor. You loved them.

3 For by their own sword they did not possess the land,

And their own arm did not save them,

But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence,

For You favored them.
