you with your own hand (A)drove out the nations,
    but (B)them you planted;
you afflicted the peoples,
    but (C)them you set free;
for not (D)by their own sword did they win the land,
    nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
    and (E)the light of your face,
    (F)for you delighted in them.

(G)You are my King, O God;
    (H)ordain salvation for Jacob!

With your hand you drove out(A) the nations
    and planted(B) our ancestors;
you crushed(C) the peoples
    and made our ancestors flourish.(D)
It was not by their sword(E) that they won the land,
    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand,(F) your arm,(G)
    and the light(H) of your face, for you loved(I) them.

You are my King(J) and my God,(K)
    who decrees[a] victories(L) for Jacob.
