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 we will perform with valor
This phrase emphasizes the reliance on divine strength rather than human ability. The concept of performing with valor suggests courage and bravery in the face of adversity, which is a recurring theme in the Bible. In the historical context, Israel often faced formidable enemies and challenges, and their victories were attributed to God's intervention. This aligns with passages like Joshua 1:9, where God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous, promising His presence. The idea of valor also connects to the spiritual battles Christians face, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, where believers are called to put on the full armor of God.

and He will trample our enemies
This phrase reflects the assurance of victory through divine intervention. The imagery of trampling suggests complete and decisive defeat, reminiscent of God's deliverance of Israel from their foes throughout the Old Testament. In a historical context, this can be seen in battles such as those against the Canaanites, where God fought for Israel (Joshua 10:10-11). Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death, as prophesied in Genesis 3:15, where the seed of the woman will crush the serpent's head. This victory is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus' death and resurrection, offering believers hope and assurance of triumph over spiritual enemies.
