Their strength and weapons
were not what won the land
    and gave them victory!
You loved them and fought
with your powerful arm
    and your shining glory.

    to the people of Jacob.
By your great power,
we knocked our enemies down
    and trampled on them.

    and the light(D) of your face, for you loved(E) them.

    who decrees[a] victories(H) for Jacob.

    through your name we trample(J) our foes.
