You with Your own hand (A)drove out the nations;
Then You (B)planted them;
You (C)afflicted the peoples,
Then You (D)let them go free.

And their own arm did not save them,

For You (H)favored them.

With your hand you drove out(A) the nations
    and planted(B) our ancestors;
you crushed(C) the peoples
    and made our ancestors flourish.(D)

    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(F) your arm,(G)
    and the light(H) of your face, for you loved(I) them.

And (E)apportioned them as an inheritance by measurement,
And had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
