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.

They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.

And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,

And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age is His kindness.

And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
