Psalm 108
1. David encourages himself to praise God
5. He prays for God's assistance according to his promise
11. His confidence in God's help














With God
This phrase emphasizes the necessity of divine partnership in achieving victory. The Hebrew root for "God" here is "Elohim," which signifies the supreme, all-powerful Creator. Historically, the Israelites understood that their successes were not due to their own strength but were granted by God’s favor and presence. This reflects a deep reliance on God, acknowledging that human efforts are futile without His guidance and support.

we will perform with valor
The phrase "perform with valor" suggests acts of bravery and courage. The Hebrew word for "valor" is "chayil," which can also mean strength, efficiency, or wealth. In the context of ancient Israel, valor was not just physical bravery but also moral and spiritual courage. This phrase inspires believers to act boldly in faith, trusting that God empowers them to overcome challenges. It is a call to action, encouraging Christians to step out in faith, knowing that God equips them for the battles they face.

and He will trample
The imagery of God trampling suggests a decisive and overwhelming victory. The Hebrew verb "ramas" means to tread down or subdue. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern context where victorious kings would literally trample their enemies underfoot as a sign of total conquest. For believers, this is a powerful reminder of God’s sovereignty and His ability to subdue all opposition. It reassures Christians that God is actively involved in their struggles, ensuring that His purposes prevail.

our enemies
The term "enemies" refers to those who oppose or threaten the people of God. In the historical context of Israel, this often meant literal nations or armies. However, from a spiritual perspective, enemies can also represent sin, temptation, and spiritual forces of evil. This phrase encourages believers to trust in God’s deliverance from all forms of opposition. It is a promise that God will ultimately defeat anything that stands against His people, providing hope and assurance of His protection and victory.

Verse 13. - Through God we shall do valiantly, etc. Also completely identical with Psalm 60:12.
