2They told us how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. They told us that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper IDM.
3It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power MTY, DOU that they did those things; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
4You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people MTY, to defeat our enemies.
5It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
6I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow and arrows and my sword.
7No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed because they were defeated.
8We have continually boasted about what God has done for us, and we will thank him MTY forever.
9But now you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out to fight a battle, you no longer go with them.
10You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
11You have allowed us to become like MET sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us far away among other nations.
12It is as though MET you sold us, your people, to our enemies for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
13People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
14They make jokes using the name of our country, they shake their heads to indicate that they despise us.
15All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
16I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
17All these things have happened to us even though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with our ancestors.
18We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do IDM.
