But now you have rejected us; you don't lead us into battle, and we look foolish.
Our God, why have you completely rejected us? Why are you so angry with the ones you care for?
Have you rejected us and deserted our armies?
Have you rejected us? You don't lead our armies.
You, God, are angry with us! We are rejected and crushed. Make us strong again!
I run to you for protection. Why have you turned me away? Why must enemies ill-treat me and make me sad?
Why do you reject me? Why do you turn from me?
The LORD says: Don't boast about your wisdom or strength or wealth.
If you feel you must boast, then have enough sense to boast about worshipping me, the LORD. What I like best is showing kindness, justice, and mercy to everyone on earth.
