5. By you we push down our enemies; by your name we tread down those who rise up against us.
6. For I do not trust my bow, and my sword cannot give me victory.
7. Rather you have saved us from our enemies, and have humiliated those who hate us.
8. In God we boast all the day, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9. Surely you have rejected and disgraced us, and have not gone out with our armies.
10. You have caused us to pull back from the enemy, and so those who hate us have plundered for themselves.
11. You have given us as sheep for food, and among the nations you have scattered us.
12. You have sold your people cheaply, and did not profit by their price.
13. You have made us a taunt to our neighbors, a derision and a scorn to those around us.
14. You have made us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15. All day long my disgrace is before me, and the shame of my face covers me,
16. because of the voice of the taunter and the reviler, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17. All this has befallen us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.
18. Our heart has not turned back, and our steps have not turned aside from your way.
19. But you have crushed us in a place of jackals, and have covered us with deep shadow.
20. If we had forgotten the name of our God, or had spread out our hands in prayer to a foreign god,
21. would not God discover this, for he knows the secrets of the heart?
