上帝歟、爾非棄我乎、上帝歟、爾不與我軍偕出兮、

惟爾上帝、素棄我躬、惟爾上帝、今率余軍旅兮、

豈非天主乎、現今主竟遺棄我儕、不偕我軍旅出徵、

誰能領我。襲彼崇墉。誰能引我。征彼夷東。

Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?

God, isn’t it you, even though you have now turned away from us? Isn’t it you, even though you don’t lead our armies into battle anymore?

Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.

Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?

God, haven’t you rejected us? God, you do not march out with our armies.

God, have You Yourself not rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies, God?

Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

[ Wilt] not[ thou], O God,[ who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.

Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

But You have rejected and humiliated us; You do not march out with our armies.

The Philistines brought all their military units together at Aphek while Israel was camped by the spring in Jezreel.As the Philistine leaders were passing in review with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were passing in review behind them with Achish.Then the Philistine commanders asked,“ What are these Hebrews doing here?” Achish answered the Philistine commanders,“ That is David, servant of King Saul of Israel. He has been with me a considerable period of time. From the day he defected until today, I’ve found no fault with him.”The Philistine commanders, however, were enraged with Achish and told him,“ Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the battle. What better way could he regain his master’s favor than with the heads of our men?Isn’t this the David they sing about during their dances: Saul has killed his thousands, but David his tens of thousands?”So Achish summoned David and told him,“ As the Lord lives, you are an honorable man. I think it is good to have you working with me in the camp, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until today. But the leaders don’t think you are reliable.Now go back quietly and you won’t be doing anything the Philistine leaders think is wrong.”“ But what have I done?” David replied to Achish.“ From the first day I was with you until today, what have you found against your servant to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”Achish answered David,“ I’m convinced that you are as reliable as the Angel of God. But the Philistine commanders have said,‘ He must not go into battle with us.’So get up early in the morning, you and your masters’ servants who came with you. When you’ve all gotten up early, go as soon as it’s light.”So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

David spoke to the men who were standing with him:“ What will be done for the man who kills that Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

Then Asa cried out to the Lord his God:“ Lord, there is no one besides You to help the mighty and those without strength. Help us, Lord our God, for we depend on You, and in Your name we have come against this large army. Yahweh, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal hinder You.”

Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”

“ When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who is attacking you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God and be delivered from your enemies.

and he said,“ Listen carefully, all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what the Lord says:‘ Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast number, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

Look, God and His priests are with us at our head. The trumpets are ready to sound the charge against you. Israelites, don’t fight against the Lord God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”

He is to say to them:‘ Listen, Israel: Today you are about to engage in battle with your enemies. Do not be cowardly. Do not be afraid, alarmed, or terrified because of them.For the Lord your God is the One who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.’
