8 She gave victory to the oppressed people of Israel,when she took off her widow's clothes,and put on a linen dress to entice him.She put on her rich perfumesand tied a ribbon round her hair.
9 Her dainty sandal caught his eye;her beauty captured his heart.Then the sword slashed through his neck.
10 The Persians trembled at her daring;the Medes were amazed at her bravery.
11 Then our people shouted in victory.They had been weak and oppressed,but they forced the enemy to retreat in panic and fear.
12 We are descendants of slaves,but our enemies turned and ran;we killed them like runaway slaves.They were destroyed by the army of the Lord.
13 “I will sing a new song to my God.O Lord, you are strong and glorious!You have never been defeated.
14 Let all your creatures serve you.You gave the command,and all of them came into being;you breathed on them,and all of them were created.No one can oppose your command.
