Psalms 50, 53, 60, 75
The subheading for Psalm 60 is an interesting one, it's a song written to music, specifically the tune of 'The Lily of the Covenant' and contains championing language depicting victory over Israel's enemies. In terms of timeline this was written just after David's mighty men at the hand of Joab struck down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Psalm 60:12 (NIV) "With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies."
I think about the victorious living narrative that the believer must reinforce daily. We know that we are in a spiritual war and the battles we fight are not flesh and blood. We know we are warriors of righteousness with all authority and power under heaven in our hands by the Holy Spirit. We are more than conquerors in Christ because of Christ alone. We can win the day because He won the day, we fight from victory not for victory because death, Satan and sin have already been crushed.
