Judith 9:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ “O God, my God,
    heed also the prayer of a widow.
You were the source of these events
    and those that occurred before and those that followed.
You have planned what is happening now
    and what will occur in the future.
Whatever you devise comes to pass.
⁶ The things you decide upon present themselves and proclaim:
    ‘Here we are.’
All your ways are prepared in advance,
    and your judgment is made with foreknowledge.

⁷ “Here are the Assyrians,
    a vast force, glorying in their horses and riders,
boasting of the strength of their foot soldiers,
    and placing their trust in shield and spear, bow and sling.
They are not aware that you are the Lord
    who obliterates wars;
    the title of Lord is yours alone.
