⁴² Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.

⁴² Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don't go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.

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

¹² Therefore the children of Israel can't 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 you destroy the devoted thing from among you.

¹ > We have heard with our ears, God; Our fathers have told us, What work you did in their days, In the days of old.

² You drove out the nations with your hand, But you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, But you spread them abroad.

³ For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, Because you were favorable to them.

⁴ You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!

⁵ Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.

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

⁷ But you have saved us from our adversaries, And have shamed those who hate us.

⁸ In God we have made our boast all day long, We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

⁹ But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, And don't go out with our armies.

¹⁰ You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

¹¹ You have made us like sheep for food, And have scattered us among the nations.
