1 For the music director. Of the sons of Korah. A maskil.*
O God, we have heard with our ears; our ancestors* have told us of work you worked in their days, in days of old. 2 You with your hand drove out the nations, but them* you planted. You harmed the peoples, but them* you let spread out. 3 For not with their sword did they possess the land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather it was your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them. 4 You are my king, O God. Command* victories for Jacob. 5 By you we push down our enemies; by your name we tread down those who rise up against us. 6 For I do not trust my bow, and my sword cannot give me victory. 7 Rather you have saved us from our enemies,* and have humiliated those who hate us.

18 who against hope believed in hope, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said, "so will your descendants be."*
19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, * because he* was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
20 And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God
21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do.
22 Therefore* it was credited to him for righteousness.

8 By faith Abraham, when he* was called, obeyed to go out to a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going.
9 By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.
10 For he was expecting the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 By faith also, ⌊with Sarah⌋*,* he received ⌊the ability to procreate⌋* even ⌊past the normal age⌋*, because he regarded the one who had promised to be faithful.
12 And therefore these were fathered from one man, and he being as good as dead, as the stars of heaven in number and like the innumerable sand by the shore of the sea.
13 These all died in faith without receiving the promises, but seeing them from a distance and welcoming them, and admitting that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth.
14 For those who say such things make clear that they are seeking a homeland.
15 And if they remember* that land from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
16 But now they aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac, and the one who received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
18 with reference to whom it was said, "In Isaac your descendants will be named,"*
19 having reasoned that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which he received him back also as a symbol.
20 By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things that were going to happen.
21 By faith Jacob, as he* was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, as he* was dying, mentioned about the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his bones.
23 By faith Moses, when he* was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw the child was handsome, and they were not afraid of the edict of the king.
24 By faith Moses, when he* was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
25 choosing instead to be mistreated with the people of God rather than to experience the transitory enjoyment of sin,
26 considering ⌊reproach endured for the sake of Christ⌋* greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king, for he persevered as if he* saw the invisible one.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.
