Footnotes

  1. 17 The psalmist speaks again and acknowledges his need for help in battle. He hopes God will volunteer, based on the affirmation of sovereignty over Edom in v. 9, but he is also aware that God has seemingly rejected the nation of Israel (v. 11).
  2. 18 Heb “and futile [is] the deliverance of man.”
  3. 19 Heb “in God we will accomplish strength.” The statement refers here to military success (see Num 24:18; 1 Sam 14:48; Pss 60:12; 118:16).
  4. 20 On the expression trample down our enemies see Ps 44:5.

for he will trample down our foes.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Have you not rejected us, O God,

for the help of humankind is futile.

Through God we will do valiantly,

and it is he who will tread down our enemies.

For vain is the help of man.

Through God we shall do valiantly:

For he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
