8. In God we boast all the day long and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9. But thou hast cast us off and put us to shame and doth not go forth with our armies.
10. Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy, and we are spoiled by those who hate us.
11. Thou hast given us over like sheep appointed for food and hast scattered us among the Gentiles.
12. Thou hast sold thy people for nothing and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.
14. Thou makest us a byword among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the people.
15. My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
16. for the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes by reason of the enemy and of the avenger.
17. All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
