Through God We Shall Do Valiantly

For the choir director. According to ¹Shushan Eduth. A ²Mikhtam of David. For teaching. ³When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

O God, ^aYou have rejected us. You have ⁴^,^bbroken us;You have been ^cangry; Oh, ^drestore us.²You have made the ¹^,^aland quake, You have split it open;^bHeal its breaches, for it shakes.³You have ^acaused Your people to see hardship;You have given us ¹wine to ^bdrink that causes reeling.⁴You have given a ^abanner to those who fear You,¹In order to flee to it from the bow. ² Selah.⁵^aThat Your ^bbeloved may be rescued,^cSave with Your right hand, and answer ¹us!⁶God has spoken in His ¹^,^aholiness:“I will exult, I will portion out ^bShechem and measure out the valley of ^cSuccoth.⁷“^aGilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;^bEphraim also is the ¹helmet of My head;Judah is My ²^,^cscepter.⁸“^aMoab is My washbowl;Over ^bEdom I shall throw My shoe;Make a loud shout, O ^cPhilistia, because of Me!”⁹Who will bring me into the fortified city?Who ¹will lead me to Edom?¹⁰Have You Yourself, O God, not ^arejected us?And ^bwill You, O God, not go forth with our armies?¹¹Oh give us help against the adversary,For ^asalvation ¹by man is worthless.¹²¹Through God we shall ^ado valiantly,And it is He who will ^btread down our adversaries.

Lead Me to the Rock

For the choir director. On a stringed instrument. Of David.

^aHear my cry of lamentation, O God;^bGive heed to my prayer.²From the ^aend of the earth I call to You when my heart is ^bfaint;Lead me to ^cthe rock that is higher than I.³For You have been a ^arefuge for me,A ^btower of strength before the enemy.⁴Let me ^asojourn in Your tent forever;Let me ^btake refuge in the shelter of Your wings. ¹ Selah.⁵For You, O God, have heard my ^avows;You have given me the inheritance of those who ^bfear Your name.⁶You will ^aadd days to the king’s ¹life;His years will be from generation to generation.⁷He will sit enthroned ^abefore God forever;Appoint ^blovingkindness and truth that they may guard him.⁸So I will ^asing praise to Your name forever,As I ^bpay my vows day by day.

God Is a Refuge for Us

For the choir director. According to ¹Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

^aSurely my soul waits in silence for God;From Him ^bis my salvation.²Surely He is my ^arock and my salvation,My ^bstronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.³How long will you assail a man,That you may murder him, all of you,Like a ^aleaning wall, like a fence thrust down?⁴Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;They ^afind pleasure in falsehood;They ^bbless with ¹their mouth,But inwardly they curse. ² Selah.⁵Surely ^await in silence for God, O my soul,For my hope is from Him.⁶Surely He is ^amy rock and my salvation,My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.⁷On God my ^asalvation and my glory rest;The rock of my strength, my ^brefuge is in God.⁸^aTrust in Him at all times, O people;^bPour out your heart before Him;God is a refuge for us. Selah.⁹Surely ¹men of ^alow degree are merely ^bvanity and ²men of rank are a ^clie;In the ^dbalances they go up;They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.¹⁰^aDo not trust in oppressionAnd do not put vain hope in ^brobbery;If riches increase, ^cdo not set your heart upon them.¹¹¹Once God has ^aspoken;²Twice I have heard this:That ^bstrength belongs to God;¹²And that ^ato You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,For You ^brepay a man according to his work.
