6. I do not trust in my bowor in my sword to save me;
7. but you have saved us from our enemiesand defeated those who hate us.
8. We will always praise youand give thanks to you for ever.
9. But now you have rejected us and let us be defeated;you no longer march out with our armies.
10. You made us run from our enemies,and they took for themselves what was ours.
11. You allowed us to be slaughtered like sheep;you scattered us in foreign countries.
12. You sold your own people for a small priceas though they had little value.
13. Our neighbours see what you did to us,and they mock us and laugh at us.
14. You have made us an object of contempt among the nations;they shake their heads at us in scorn.
15. I am always in disgrace;I am covered with shame
16. from hearing the sneers and insultsof my enemies and those who hate me.
17. All this has happened to us,even though we have not forgotten youor broken the covenant you made with us.
