WE with our ears have h•ard, o God, our fathers have us told, what works thou diddest in their days, in former days of old. verse 2 How thy hand drave the heathen out, and them thou planted hast; how thou the people didst afflict, and •hou didst them out-cast. verse 3 For they got not by their own sword the lands possession, neither yet was it their own arm wrought their salvation: But thy right hand, thine arm also, thy countenances light; because that of thine own good will thou didst in them delight. verse 4 Thou art my king, o mighty God, […] dost the same endure: do thou for Jacob by command deliverances procure. verse 5 Through thee as with a horn we will push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them down that up against us rise. verse 6 Because that I will in no wise any affiance have, upon my bow, neither is it my sword that shall me save. verse 7 But from our enemies us thou saved, and put our foes to shame. verse 8 I• God we boast all the day long, ⟨image ?⟩and for aye praise thy name. Selah.
