4-8 You’re my King, O God—
    command victories for Jacob!
With your help we’ll wipe out our enemies,
    in your name we’ll stomp them to dust.
I don’t trust in weapons;
    my sword won’t save me—
But it’s you, you who saved us from the enemy;
    you made those who hate us lose face.
All day we parade God’s praise—
    we thank you by name over and over.

I put no trust in my bow,(A)
    my sword does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory(B) over our enemies,
    you put our adversaries to shame.(C)
In God we make our boast(D) all day long,(E)
    and we will praise your name forever.[a](F)
