Judith 16:1-3 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Judith said:Begin to praise my God with drums;sing to the Lord with cymbals.Adapt a psalm for him;lift up your praise,and call upon his name.

2. The Lord is a God who crushes wars.He rescued mefrom the hand of my oppressors,and brought me into his campin the midst of his people.

3. The Assyrian came from the mountains in the north;he came with tens of thousandsof his warriors;their crowd of peopleblocked the ravines,and their cavalry covered the hills.
