Bible in Basic English
"Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people."
— Psalms 44:2, Bible in Basic English
“How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.”
It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,
Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.
For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.
You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.
Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.
