fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Thou, `with' Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Thou `art' He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob. |

fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders, |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame. |
| 8 |

| 12 |
