Judith 16:10-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. The Persians trembled at her daring,and the Medes were troubledby her boldness.

11. Then my humbled ones shouted loudly;my weak ones cried out,they lifted up their voices,and the enemies were overthrown.

12. Sons of mere girls stabbed themand wounded themlike the children of deserters.They perished beforemy Lord’s army.

13. I will sing to my God a new song.Lord, you are great and glorious, marvelous in strengthnever to be outdone.

14. May all of your creation serve you;you spoke,and they came into being.You sent forth your spiritand it shaped them;there is no onewho can resist your voice.

15. The mountains will be shaken from their foundations with the waters;rocks will melt like wax before you.Yet you will show mercyto those who fear you.

16. The pleasant fragrance of all offeringsis a small thing to you,and the fat of all entirely burned offerings means even less to you.But those who fear the Lordare great forever.
