3. An expression of confidence in God 60:9-12

60:9-10 David was confident in view of God's promises to subdue Israel's enemies and give her the Promised Land. He would lead the Israelites in ultimate victory even though He had allowed them to suffer immediate defeat.

60:11-12 David acknowledged that victory had to come from God. The Israelites could not obtain it without His help. However with His aid, they could and would overcome valiantly.¹¹⁸

Both victory and defeat come from God. Consequently believers should look to Him in both situations and should rely on His supernatural strength and His covenant promises for success against their enemies.
