But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies.
O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us.
For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
O Lord, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me?
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches,
but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
