Scripture focus

6. That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me. 7. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8. Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; 9. Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 10. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 11. [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? 12. Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. 13. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.

Thy beloved. The prayer of one godly man reaches out to many others, and often shapes the destiny of a whole nation (see James 5:17, 18). The beloved will be delivered by Him who loves them.
