9. So may it be with these also, O Lord, who trust in their multitude, and in their swift chariots, and in their pikes, and in their shields, and in their arrows, and the glory in their lances.
10. And they do not know that you are our God, who crushes wars from the beginning, and the Lord is your name.
11. Raise up your arm, just as from the beginning, and throw down their power by your power. Let their power fall, in their anger, for they promise themselves to violate your sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle of your name, and to cut down by their sword the horn of your altar.
12. Act, O Lord, so that his arrogance may be cut off with his own sword.
13. Let him be seized by the snare of his own eyes in my regard, and may you strike him by the attraction of my lips.
14. Give me constancy in my soul, so that I may hold him in contempt, and give me virtue, so that I may overthrow him.
15. For this will be a memorial to your name, when he will be overthrown by the hand of a woman.
16. For your power, O Lord, is not in numbers, nor is your will with the strength of horses, nor from the beginning have the arrogant been pleasing to you. But the pleas of the humble and the meek have always pleased you.
17. O God of the heavens, Creator of the waters, and Lord of all creation, heed me, a miserable thing, pleading you and depending on your mercy.
18. Remember, O Lord, your covenant, and put your words in my mouth, and reinforce the plan in my heart, so that your house may continue with your sanctification,
19. and so that all the nations may acknowledge that you are God, and there is no other beside you."
