You have set up a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah That Your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by Your right hand and answer us! God has spoken in his holiness: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
But, Lord, you have called your Body, not as an endless proclaimer of a bitter jeremiad, but as one to declare your Glories to the nations. You have called us to see the unseen and be lifted up by your triumph. To tell all that you are in control, you are advancing the Kingdom, that to have trust and faith in you is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
