To the director: A maskil from the Korah family.

44 God, we have heard about you.
    Our fathers told us what you did in their lifetime.
    They told us what you did long ago.
With your great power you took this land from other people,
    and you gave it to us.
You crushed those foreigners
    and forced them to leave this land.
