Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)
1
To him that excelleth upon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalme of David to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, and against Aram Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley. O God, thou hast cast vs out, thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene angry, turne againe vnto vs.
2
Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
3
Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.
4
But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. Selah.
5
That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
6
God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.
7
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.
8
Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.
9
Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
10
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11
Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
12
Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.

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.
