Judith 13:18-20

New Catholic Bible

“Blessed are you, daughter, by the Most High God,
    above all other women on earth.
And blessed be the Lord God,
    the Creator of heaven and earth,
under whose guidance you cut off
    the head of the leader of our enemies.
¹⁹ The hope that inspired you will never fade
    from the memory of those who praise the power of God.
²⁰ May God make your deed redound to your everlasting honor
    and shower blessings upon you,
because you risked your life
    when our nation was faced with annihilation,
and you averted our ruin,
    walking uprightly before the Lord.”
