Victory with God

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13; Psalm 108:1-13)
1
I prayed, “God, you have rejected us Israelites! Because you have been angry with us, you have enabled our enemies to break through our ranks. Please enable us to be strong again!
2
It was as though you made a big earthquake in which the ground split open. So now, make us strong again, because it is as though our country is falling apart.
3
You have caused us, your people, to suffer very much; it is as though you had taken away our strength by making us drink strong wine.
4
But you have raised a battle flag for those who honor you. They will show your banner when they face the enemies’ arrows.
5
Answer our prayers and enable us by your power to defeat our enemies so that we, the people you love, will be saved.”
6
Then God answered my prayer and spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered your enemies, I will divide the city of Shechem, and I will distribute among my people the land in Succoth Valley.
7
The region of Gilead is mine; the people of the tribe of Manasseh are mine; the tribe of Ephraim is like my helmet; and the tribe of Judah is like the scepter with which I rule.
8
The region of Moab is like my washbasin; I throw my sandal into the region of Edom to show that it belongs to me; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated the people of all the region of Philistia.
9
Because I want to defeat the people of Edom, who will lead my army to their capital city that has strong walls around it?”
10
So, God, it seems that you have truly abandoned us; it seems that you do not go with us when our armies march out to fight our enemies.
11
We need you to help us when we fight against our enemies because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12
But with you helping us, we will win; you will enable us to defeat 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.
