O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 20 of 2 Chronicles. Jehoshaphat prays in the temple, recalling God’s sovereignty, the promise given to Abraham, and Israel’s historical protection. He acknowledges that Judah lacks sufficient strength against the enemy and declares that their eyes are upon God. The prayer turns a military crisis into a collective expression of covenant dependence.

Unser Gott, willst du sie nicht richten? Denn in uns ist nicht Kraft gegen diesen großen Haufen, der wider uns kommt. Wir wissen nicht, was wir tun sollen; sondern unsre Augen sehen nach dir.
¡Oh Dios nuestro! ¿no los juzgarás tú? porque en nosotros no hay fuerza contra tan grande multitud que viene contra nosotros: no sabemos lo que hemos de hacer, mas a ti volvemos nuestros ojos.
O notre Dieu, n'exerceras-tu pas tes jugements sur eux? Car nous sommes sans force devant cette multitude nombreuse qui s'avance contre nous, et nous ne savons que faire, mais nos yeux sont sur toi.
O Dio nostro, non farai tu giudicio di loro? conciossiachè non vi sia forza alcuna in noi, per contrastare a questa gran moltitudine che viene contro a noi; e noi non sappiamo ciò che dobbiam fare; ma gli occhi nostri son volti a te.
Ah! nosso Deus, porventura não os julgarás? Porque em nós não há força perante esta grande multidão que vem contra nós, e não sabemos o que faremos; porém os nossos olhos estão postos em ti.
我們的上帝啊,你不懲罰他們嗎?因為我們無力抵擋這來攻擊我們的大軍。我們不知道該怎麼做,我們的眼目單仰望你。」
