7. For you deliver us from our enemies;you humiliate those who hate us.
8. In God I boast all day long,and we will continually give thanks to your name. (Selah)
9. But you rejected and embarrassed us!You did not go into battle with our armies.
10. You made us retreat from the enemy.Those who hate us take whatever they want from us.
11. You handed us over like sheep to be eaten;you scattered us among the nations.
12. You sold your people for a pittance;you did not ask a high price for them.
13. You made us an object of disdain to our neighbors;those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
14. You made us an object of ridicule among the nations;foreigners treat us with contempt.
15. All day long I feel humiliatedand am overwhelmed with shame,
16. before the vindictive enemywho ridicules and insults me.
17. All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected youor violated your covenant with us.
18. We have not been unfaithful,nor have we disobeyed your commands.
19. Yet you have battered us, leaving us a heap of ruins overrun by wild dogs;you have covered us with darkness.
