Psalms 44:2

Thou thyself, with thine own hand—Didst dispossess, nations, and didst plant them, Didst break peoples in pieces, and didst spread them out:

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

In Context

1O God! with our own ears, have we heard, Our fathers, have recounted to us,—The work thou didst work, In their day, In the days of aforetime:

3For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them,—But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.
