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

Verse 2 is found in chapter 44 of Psalms. Psalm 44 is a communal lament based on the memory of ancient victories and the present experience of defeat. Israel remembers that its ancestors received the land through God’s hand, not through their own strength. Precisely for this reason, the present crisis is perplexing: the people claim not to have deliberately abandoned the Lord. The prayer ends by asking God to awaken and act according to his mercy.

Gott, wir haben's mit unsern Ohren gehört, unsre Väter haben's uns erzählt, was du getan hast zu ihren Zeiten vor alters.
Tú con tu mano echaste las gentes, y los plantaste a ellos; Afligiste los pueblos, y los arrojaste.
Con tu mano expulsaste a las naciones y plantaste a nuestros padres; quebrantaste a los pueblos e hiciste extenderse a los nuestros.
De ta main tu as chassé des nations pour les établir, Tu as frappé des peuples pour les étendre.
Tu, colla tua mano, scacciasti le genti, e piantasti i nostri padri; Tu disertasti le nazioni, e propagginasti i nostri padri.
Como expulsaste os gentios com a tua mão e os plantaste a eles; como afligiste os povos e os derrubaste.
你曾用手趕出外邦人, 卻栽培了我們的列祖; 你苦待萬民, 卻叫我們的列祖發達。
