7 I put aside my widow's clothesand won a victoryfor troubled Israel.I put on perfume
8 and placeda fancy headband in my hair,and I dressed in linento attract and fool him.
9 He liked my sandalsand thought I was lovely;then I took his own swordand cut off his head.
10 My courage shocked the Persiansand stunned the Medes.
11 Our weak and abused peoplelet out shouts of victory,while the Assyrianstrembled in fear and ran.
12 Though our ancestors were slaves,we, the Lord's mighty army,attacked and killedenemy troops.
13 I will sing a new song of praiseto the Lord our God;he is glorious and all-powerful,and his strength never fails.
