so you let their enemies conquer and rule them. In their trouble they called to you for help, and you answered them from heaven. In your great mercy you sent them leaders who rescued them from their foes.

Victory comes from the LORD --- may he bless his people.

He gives me victory over my enemies; he subdues the nations under me

and saves me from my foes. O LORD, you give me victory over my enemies and protect me from violent people.
