In context
1 We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
5 Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
