7. Not in my bow do I trust,nor does my sword bring me victory.
8. You have brought us victory over our enemies,shamed those who hate us.
9. In God we have boasted all the day long;your name we will praise forever.Selah
10. But now you have rejected and disgraced us;you do not march out with our armies.
11. You make us retreat before the foe;those who hate us plunder us at will.
12. You hand us over like sheep to be slaughtered,scatter us among the nations.
13. You sell your people for nothing;you make no profit from their sale.
14. You make us the reproach of our neighbors,the mockery and scorn of those around us.
15. You make us a byword among the nations;the peoples shake their heads at us.
16. All day long my disgrace is before me;shame has covered my face
17. At the sound of those who taunt and revile,at the sight of the enemy and avenger.
18. All this has come upon us,though we have not forgotten you,nor been disloyal to your covenant.
19. Our hearts have not turned back,nor have our steps strayed from your path.
20. Yet you have left us crushed,desolate in a place of jackals;you have covered us with a shadow of death.
