SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:8
¡Ay Señor! ¿qué diré, ya que Israel ha vuelto las espaldas delante de sus enemigos?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. O Lord, what shall I say , etc.] For the comfort and encouragement of the people of Israel, in vindication of thy power and faithfulness, and against the charge of weakness in thyself, unfaithfulness to thy promises, and unkindness to thy people, brought by our enemies: when Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies ? or after they have done it; what is to be said now, this being the case? he speaks as a man confounded, and at the utmost loss how to account for the power, the providence, and promises of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-9 - Joshua's concern for the honour of God, more than even for the fate of Israel, was the language of the Spirit of adoption. He pleaded with God. He laments their defeat, as he feared it would reflect on God' wisdom and power, his goodness and faithfulness. We cannot at any tim urge a better plea than this, Lord, what wilt thou do for thy grea name? Let God be glorified in all, and then welcome his whole will.
