It wasn’t their swords that took the land.
    It wasn’t their power that gave them victory.
But it was your great power and strength.
    You were with them because you loved them.

My God, you are my King.
    Your commands led Jacob’s people to victory.
With your help we pushed back our enemies.
    In your name we trampled those who came against us.

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.
