Praise YHWH not just for what He has done, which is amazing, but also for who He is… holy, just, loving, kind, creator of all but still interested in each of us. So too we are invited to ask Him earnestly for help where we need it, as we might a loving Father. That said, he likely will not answer selfish materialistic prayers, but rather prayers consistent with His character, desires, and will for us.
God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.
A Song, a Psalm of David.
1My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.
2Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn!
3I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the skies.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
And Your glory above all the earth.
6That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and answer me!
7God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem
And measure out the valley of Succoth.
8“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My scepter.
9“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Over Philistia I will shout aloud.”
10Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?
12Oh give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain.
13Through God we will do valiantly,
And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
