Context of Psalms 108:12
10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom? 11Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. 13Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
