2With your hand you drove outk the nations

and plantedl our ancestors;

you crushedm the peoples

and made our ancestors flourish.n

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

nor did their arm bring them victory;

it was your right hand,p your arm,q

and the lightr of your face, for you loveds them.

4You are my Kingt and my God,u

who decreesc victoriesv for Jacob.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

O God, we have heard with our ears,

our fathers have told us,

what deeds you performed in their days,

in the days of old:

you with your own hand drove out the nations,

but them you planted;

you afflicted the peoples,

but them you set free;

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

nor did their own arm save them,

but your right hand and your arm,

and the light of your face,

for you delighted in them.

You are my King, O God;

ordain salvation for Jacob!

CSBChristian Standard Bible

God, we have heard with our ears—

our ancestors have told us—

the work you accomplished in their days,

in days long ago:

In order to plant them,

you displaced the nations by your hand;

in order to settle them,

you brought disaster on the peoples.

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,

because you were favorable toward them.

You are my King, my God,

who ordains victories for Jacob.

NLTNew Living Translation

O God, we have heard it with our own ears—

our ancestors have told us

of all you did in their day,

in days long ago:

You drove out the pagan nations by your power

and gave all the land to our ancestors.

You crushed their enemies

and set our ancestors free.

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.

You are my King and my God.

You command victories for Israel.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

O God, we have heard with our ears;

our ancestors have told us

of work you worked in their days,

in days of old.

You with your hand drove out the nations,

but them you planted.

You harmed the peoples,

but them you let spread out.

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.

You are my king, O God.

Command victories for Jacob.

KJV 1900King James Version

We have heard with our ears, O God,

Our fathers have told us,

What work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them;

How thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

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.

Thou art my King, O God:

Command deliverances for Jacob.
