You with your hand drove out the nations,
but them[a] you planted.
You harmed the peoples,
but them[b] 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[c] victories for Jacob.

    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(F) your arm,(G)
