3 Thou hast destroyed the nations by thy hand, and hast planted them; He smote the tribes and drove them out;

4 For they did not gain the earth with their sword, nor did their arm save them, but Thy right hand, and Thy arm, and the light of Thy countenance, for Thou didst delight in them.

5 O God, my King! Thou art the same; grant salvation to Jacob.

6 With Thee we will beat our enemies with the horns; In Thy name let us trample under the feet of those who rise up against us:

7 For I do not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me;

8 but thou shalt save us from our enemies, and put to shame them that hate us.

9 In God we will glory all the day, and we will glorify your name forever.

10 But now Thou hast rejected us, and hast put us to shame, and Thou dost not go out with our armies;

11 He has put us to flight from the enemy, and those who hate us are plundering us.

12 Thou hast given us up as sheep to be devoured, and hast scattered us among the nations;

13 Thou hast sold thy people without profit, and hast not exalted their price;

14 He has given us up to be a reproach to our neighbours, to be a mockery and a reproach to them that dwell around us.

15 Thou hast made us a proverb among the nations, a nod of the head among the foreigners.

16 All day long my shame is before me, and shame covers my face

17 From the voice of the reproach and the slanderer, from the sight of the enemy and the avenger:

18 All these things have come upon us, but we have not forgotten thee, neither have we broken thy covenant.

19 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our feet deviated from thy way,

20 when thou hast crushed us in the land of dragons, and hast covered us with the shadow of death.

21 If we had forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a strange god,

22 then would not God have sought this? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

23 But for thy sake we are slain all the day, and we are reckoned as sheep to be slaughtered.
