1For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Korah.

2O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us, The work which thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old.

— Psalms 43:3 —

4For they inherited not the land by their own sword, And their own arm did not deliver them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, And the light of thy countenance, because thou wert well pleased in them.

5Thou art indeed my King and my God, Who commandest deliverances for Jacob.
