3 No, not by their own swordsdid they take possession of the land—their own arms didn’t save them.No, it was your strong hand, your arm,and the light of your facebecause you were pleased with them.
4 It’s you, God! You who are my king,the one who orders salvation for Jacob.
5 We’ve pushed our foes away by your help;we’ve trampled our enemies by your name.
6 No, I won’t trust in my bow;my sword won’t save me
7 because it’s you who saved us from our foes,you who put those who hate us to shame.
8 So we glory in God at all timesand give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9 But now you’ve rejected and humiliated us.You no longer accompany our armies.
