4. You are my God and King,and you give victoryto the people of Jacob.
5. By your great power,we knocked our enemies downand trampled on them.
6. I don't depend on my arrowsor my sword to save me.
7. But you saved usfrom our hateful enemies,and you put them to shame.
8. We boast about you, our God,and we are always grateful.
9. But now you have rejected us;you don't lead us into battle,and we look foolish.
10. You made us retreat,and our enemies have takeneverything we own.
11. You let us be slaughteredlike sheep,and you scattered usamong the nations.
12. You sold your peoplefor little or nothing,and you earned no profit.
