6. I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;
7. but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
8. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
9. But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
10. You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
11. You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
12. You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.
13. You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
14. You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.
15. I live in disgrace all day long, and my face is covered with shame
16. at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
17. All this came upon us, though we had not forgotten you; we had not been false to your covenant.
