Will you no longer march with our armies?

for he will trample down our foes. Psalm 60:9-12
You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2 You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3 You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude PSalm 60:1-4
Rescue me from my enemies, O God.
Protect me from those who have come to destroy me.
2 Rescue me from these criminals;
save me from these murderers.

Fierce enemies are out there waiting, Lord,
though I have not sinned or offended them.
4 I have done nothing wrong,
yet they prepare to attack me.
Wake up! See what is happening and help me!
5 O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,
wake up and punish those hostile nations.

For great is your love, higher than the heavens;

the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple. Psalm 27:4
Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
Don’t condemn me along with murderers.

So redeem me and show me mercy.
12 Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the Lord.Psalm 26:9-12
