Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding. 2We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old. 3Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out. 4For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them. 5Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
