| 11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? | 11God, you have rejected us, have you not, since you did not march out with our army, God? |
| 12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. | 12Give us help against the enemy, because human help is useless. |
| 13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. | 13I will find strength in God, for he will trample on our foes. |
