To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free; for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them.
O, Lord, as the Psalmist says in Psalm 103:17-18, Your promises flow to those in whom You delight. And those are the one who fear You and who seek to obey Your commandments. How can I expect blessings when I am disobedient? No, I must expect correction and discipline, also because You love me and seek to be able to bestow Your blessings upon me.
