But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.
O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?
O God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again!
For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Lord, why do You cast off my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord.
