Texts -- Psalms 108:7-13 (NET)

Context
108:7 God has spoken in his sanctuary : “I will triumph ! I will parcel out Shechem , the valley of Succoth I will measure off. 108:8 Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh ! Ephraim is my helmet , Judah my royal scepter . 108:9 Moab is my wash basin . I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia .” 108:10 Who will lead me into the fortified city ? Who will bring me to Edom ? 108:11 Have you not rejected us, O God ? O God , you do not go into battle with our armies . 108:12 Give us help against the enemy , for any help men might offer is futile . 108:13 By God’s power we will conquer ; he will trample down our enemies .
