Context of Psalms 108:12
10Moab is My washbowl. I throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.” 11Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? O God, have You not spurned us? Will You go out no more with our armies? 13Give us help against the adversary— for useless is deliverance through man. 14With God we will do valiantly— and He will trample our foes.
