Our Praise and God's Answer (Psalm 108, Part 2)

God’s Answer (verses 6-9)

⁶Save us and help us with your right hand,

         that those you love may be delivered.
⁷God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem

      and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
⁸Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;

         Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
⁹Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal;

      over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

We long for a manifestation of God’s glory so that all might know the true God. Through the church, Jesus Christ, God with us, makes intercession for his people. Crowned with victory, he will divide up the kingdoms of the world. May we not fear those who oppose us. God makes their wisdom folly, their strength weakness, and their glory shame.

All powerful God, save us; deliver those You love. You, God, have spoken from Your sanctuary. We worship You, Lord Jesus, as our King. Govern us by Your Spirit so we remain citizens of Your kingdom of grace. With all the hosts of heaven we will forever magnify Your holy name. Thank You that we are Yours; indeed Jefferson County is Yours. Over Port Townsend You shout in triumph.
