Psalms 44:2

_ _ plantedst them — that is, “our fathers,” who are also, from the parallel construction of the last clause, to be regarded as the object of “cast them out,” which means — literally, “send” them out, or, “extend them.” Heathen and people denote the nations who were driven out to make room for the Israelites.
