5. Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
6. Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
7. For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.
8. But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.
9. In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
10. But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
11. Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
12. Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.
13. Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
14. Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
15. Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.
16. All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
17. At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
18. All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.
