Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)

For the chief musician; set to Shushan Eduth. A michtam of David, for teaching. When he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. God, you have cast us off; you have broken through our defenses; you have been angry; restore us again.

You have made the land tremble; you have torn it apart; heal its fissures, for it is shaking.

You have made your people see difficult things; you have made us drink the wine of staggering.

For those who honor you, you have set up a banner to be displayed against those who carry the bow. Selah.

So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.

God has spoken in his holiness, “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.”

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?

But you, God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

Give us help against the enemy, for man’s help is futile.

We will triumph with God’s help; he will trample down our enemies.

Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)

God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
