O God, we have clearly heard; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in ancient times. 2 You, by your power, defeated nations and settled our fathers on their land; you crushed the people living there and enabled our ancestors to occupy it. 3 For they did not conquer the land by their swords, and they did not prevail by their strength, but rather by your power, strength and good favor, for you were partial to them. 4 You are my king, O God! Decree Jacob’s deliverance! 5 By your power we will drive back our enemies; by your strength we will trample down our foes! 6 For I do not trust in my bow, and I do not prevail by my sword. 7 For you deliver us from our enemies; you humiliate those who hate us. 8 In God we boast all day long, and we will continually give thanks to your name.(Selah) 9 But you rejected and embarrassed us! You did not go into battle with our armies. 10 You made us retreat from the enemy. Those who hate us take whatever they want from us. 11 You handed us over like sheep to be eaten; you scattered us among the nations.
