but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
-
My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.

No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them—

You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.

Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
-
For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
