5. Through you we push down our foes;through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.
6. For not in my bow do I trust,nor can my sword save me.
7. But you have saved us from our foesand have put to shame those who hate us.
8. In God we have boasted continually,and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9. But you have rejected us and disgraced usand have not gone out with our armies.
10. You have made us turn back from the foe,and those who hate us have gotten spoil.
11. You have made us like sheep for slaughterand have scattered us among the nations.
12. You have sold your people for a trifle,demanding no high price for them.
13. You have made us the taunt of our neighbors,the derision and scorn of those around us.
14. You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15. All day long my disgrace is before me,and shame has covered my face
16. at the sound of the taunter and reviler,at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.
