    1WE have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

    2How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

    3For 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.

    4Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

    5Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

    6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

    7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

    8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

    9But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

    10Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

    11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
