5. Through You shall we push down our enemies; through Your name shall we tread them under who rise up against us.
6. For I will not trust in and lean on my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7. But You have saved us from our foes and have put them to shame who hate us.
8. In God we have made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
9. But now You have cast us off and brought us to dishonor, and You go not out with our armies.
10. You make us to turn back from the enemy, and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11. You have made us like sheep intended for mutton and have scattered us in exile among the nations.
12. You sell Your people for nothing, and have not increased Your wealth by their price.
13. You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are round about us.
14. You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the heads among the people.
15. My dishonor is before me all day long, and shame has covered my face
16. At the words of the taunter and reviler, by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
