Psalms

Psalm 108:10–13

¹⁰Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have You not rejected us, O God?

Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

¹²Give us aid against the enemy,

for the help of man is worthless.

¹³With God we will perform with valor,

and He will trample our enemies.
