Assurance of God’s Victory over Enemies

A Song. A Psalm of David.

108 O God, my heart is steadfast;I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.² Awake, lute and harp!I will awaken the dawn.³ I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples,And I will sing praises to You among the nations.⁴ For Your mercy is great above the heavens,And Your truth reaches to the clouds.

⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,And Your glory above all the earth;⁶ That Your beloved may be delivered,Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

⁷ God has spoken in His holiness:“I will rejoice;I will divide ShechemAnd measure out the Valley of Succoth.⁸ Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;Ephraim also is the helmet for My head;Judah is My lawgiver.⁹ Moab is My washpot;Over Edom I will cast My shoe;Over Philistia I will triumph.”

¹⁰ Who will bring me into the strong city?Who will lead me to Edom?¹¹ Is it not You, O God, who cast us off?And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?¹² Give us help from trouble,For the help of man is useless.¹³ Through God we will do valiantly,For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.^[a]
