⁴² Go not up, for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.

⁴² And Jehovah said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

⁸ Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies!

¹² Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the devoted thing from among you.

¹ We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.

² Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.

³ For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.

⁴ Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.

⁵ Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

⁶ For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.

⁷ But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸ In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah

⁹ But now thou hast cast `us' off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

¹⁰ Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.

¹¹ Thou hast made us like sheep `appointed' for food, And hast scattered us among the nations.
