You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack.

Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows.

But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
suddenly striking them down.
8Their own tongues will ruin them,
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

I am under attack, attack from myself, evil around me and Satan directly. Only with the Lord’s power may I make a stand and move forward and win this battle.

Lord God, give me power over the areas of my life that lead to a compromise of your will for me.
