For by their own sword they (A)did not possess the land,
And their own arm did not save them,
But Your right hand and Your (B)arm and the (C)light of Your presence,
For You (D)favored them.

You are (E)my King, God;
(F)Command [a]victories for Jacob.
Through You we will (G)push back our adversaries;
Through Your name we will (H)trample down those who rise up against us.

  1. Psalm 44:4 Lit salvation

It was not by their sword(A) that they won the land,
    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(B) your arm,(C)
    and the light(D) of your face, for you loved(E) them.

You are my King(F) and my God,(G)
    who decrees[a] victories(H) for Jacob.
Through you we push back(I) our enemies;
    through your name we trample(J) our foes.
