5Through you we can thrust back our foes, and by your name tread down our assailants:
6for not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword win me the victory.
7Our victory comes from you, and confusion to those who hate us.
8In God we boast all the day long, and your name will we praise forever. Selah
9Yet you have spurned and disgraced us, in not going forth with our armies,
10and in making us flee from the foe, so that those who hated us plundered us.
11You have let us be eaten like sheep, you have scattered us over the world,
12sold your people for a pittance, and getting no gain from their price.
13You have made us the butt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of all round us.
14O'er the world you have made us a byword, the nations at us shake their heads.
15My disgrace is forever before me, my face is covered with shame,
16at the words of blasphemer and scoffer, at the sight of the foe and the vengeful.
17All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you nor falsely dealt with your covenant.
