For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.

44 We have heard with our ears, God;
    our fathers have told us what work you did in their days,
    in the days of old.
You drove out the nations with your hand,
    but you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples,
    but you spread them abroad.
