New Testament

Judith 16:9-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. Her sandals ravished his eyes,her beauty captivated his mind,the sword cut through his neck!

10. “The Persians trembled at her boldness,the Medes were daunted at her daring.

11. When my lowly ones shouted,and my weak ones cried out,The enemy was terrified,screamed and took to flight.

12. Sons of maidservants pierced them through;wounded them like deserters’ children.They perished before the ranks of my Lord.

13. “I will sing a new song to my God.O Lord, great are you and glorious,marvelous in power and unsurpassable.

14. Let your every creature serve you;for you spoke, and they were made.You sent forth your spirit, and it created them;no one can resist your voice.

15. For the mountains to their basesare tossed with the waters;the rocks, like wax, melt before your glance.“But to those who fear you,you will show mercy.
