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.

Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)
1
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.(a) (b)
2
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5
That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.(c)
9
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?(d)
10
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.(e)
12
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
