Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses, neither will we say any more: The works of our hands are our gods, for thou wilt have mercy on the fatherless that is in thee.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Assur non salvabit nos : super equum non ascendemus, nec dicemus ultra, Dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum : quia ejus, qui in te est, misereberis pupilli.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Ἀσσοὺρ οὐ μὴ σώσῃ ἡμᾶς, ἐφ᾽ ἵππον οὐκ ἀναβησόμεθα· οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωμεν Θεοὶ ἡμῶν, τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν· ὁ ἐν σοὶ ἐλεήσει ὀρφανόν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- אַשּׁ֣וּר לֹ֣א יוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נוּ עַל סוּס֙ לֹ֣א נִרְכָּ֔ב וְלֹא נֹ֥אמַר ע֛וֹד אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ לְמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדֵ֑ינוּ אֲשֶׁר בְּךָ֖ יְרֻחַ֥ם יָתֽוֹם
Haydock's commentary
Gods. The Assyrians, instead of protecting, oppress us; while Egypt, famous for horses, sits unconcerned. (Calmet)
But the source of all our evils are the idols, which we will follow no more.
In thee: adheres to the true faith in practice. (Haydock)
Israel was like an orphan during the captivity, Lamentations i. 1. (Calmet)
