The author uses the word but here to indicate a strong contrast between the nations and them, as well as between the peoples and them. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “You drove out the nations with your hand, in contrast to how you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, in contrast to how you sent them”
