6
For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.
7
But thou hast saved us from our foes, and hast put to confusion those who hate us.
8
In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]
9
Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.
10
Thou hast made us turn back from the foe; and our enemies have gotten spoil.
11
Thou hast made us like sheep for slaughter, and hast scattered us among the nations.
12
Thou hast sold thy people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.
13
Thou hast made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those about us.
14
Thou hast 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 words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.
