1. 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.
|
2. How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
|
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.
|
5. Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
|
13. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
|
17. All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
|
19. Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
