Victory with God

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

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam(a)60:1 Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim(b)60:1 That is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia. and Aram-zobah,(c)60:1 That is, the land northeast of Damascus and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

You have rejected us, O God;

You have broken us;

You have been angry;

restore us!

You have shaken the land

and torn it open.

Heal its fractures,

for it is quaking.

You have shown Your people hardship;

we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.

You have raised a banner for those who fear You,

that they may flee the bow.(d)60:4 Or that it may be displayed because of truth

Selah

Respond and save us with Your right hand,

that Your beloved may be delivered.

God has spoken from His sanctuary:(e)60:6 Or in His holiness

“I will triumph!

I will parcel out Shechem

and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

Moab is My washbasin;

upon Edom I toss My sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

Have You not rejected us, O God?

Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

Give us aid against the enemy,

for the help of man is worthless.

With God we will perform with valor,

and He will trample our enemies.
