Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

For great art Thou, and doing wonders, Thou art God Thyself alone.

You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain;You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
