Judith 16:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Judith Offers Her Hymn of Praise

16 Then Judith began this thanksgiving before all Israel, and all the people loudly sang this song of praise. ²And Judith said,

Begin a song to my God with tambourines,
    sing to my Lord with cymbals.
Raise to him a new psalm;^[a]
    exalt him, and call upon his name.
³For God is the Lord who crushes wars;
    for he has delivered me out of the hands of my pursuers,
    and brought me to his camp, in the midst of the people.
