6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me. 7But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us. In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. Selah 9But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies. 10You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
