10. Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy. The humiliating consciousness that the Lord has left them soon makes
people cowards. And they which hate us spoil for themselves. The poor,
vanquished nation paid a terrible penalty for being overcome. In spiritual
experience we know what it is to be despoiled by our enemies; doubts and fears
rob us of our comforts, and terrible forebodings spoil us of our hopes; and all
because the Lord, for wise purposes, sees fit to leave us to ourselves. Alas
for the deserted soul! No calamity can equal the sorrow of being left by God,
though it be but for a moment.
