For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee? And why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them - But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

For I will not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that shall help me.

But now thou art far off, and puttest us to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.

My strength will I ascribe unto thee; for thou art the God of my refuge.

For the sin of their mouth, for the words of their lips, and because of their pride, let them be taken. And why? Their preaching is of cursing and lies.
