With your hand you expelled the nations
    and established our ancestors.[a]
You afflicted nations
    and cast them out.
It was not with their sword that they inherited the land,
    nor did their own arm deliver them.

    and by the light of your face;
        because you were pleased with them.

You are my king, God,
    command[c] victories[d] for Jacob.
