Psalms 108:6-13
6So that your beloved ones may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer me. 7Elohim has spoken in his holiness: “I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth I will measure out. 8Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh; and Ephraim is the stronghold of my head; Judah is my staff of command. 9Moab is the pot I wash in; upon Edom I will throw my sandal; over Philistia I will shout aloud.” 10Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11Have not you, Elohim, rejected us? And you do not go out, Elohim, with our armies. 12Give us help against the adversary, for falsehood is the salvation of a human being. 13With Elohim we will do mighty deeds, and he will trample our adversaries.
