Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)
1
Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,
2
When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men.
3
O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
4
Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
5
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.
6
Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
7
Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
8
God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
9
Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
10
Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
11
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
12
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
13
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
14
Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.

Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)
1
God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
2
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
3
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
6
God has spoken from his sanctuary:I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
8
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
10
Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.
11
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
12
Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
