4. Thou thyself art my king, O God command deliverance for Jacob.
5. Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6. For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7. For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
8. In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9. But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;
10. Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;
11. Thou hast given us over like sheep appointed for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;
12. Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price;
13. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;
14. Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15. All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16. Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
