God, we have heard with our ears —
our ancestors have told us —
the work you accomplished in their days,
in days long ago:
In order to plant them,
you displaced the nations by your hand;
in order to settle them,
you brought disaster on the peoples.
For they did not take the land by their sword —
their arm did not bring them victory —
but by your right hand, your arm,
and the light of your face,
because you were favorable toward them.
You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,
a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.
Because of you we are being put to death all day long;
we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.
