With God
This phrase emphasizes the essential partnership and reliance on the divine. In the Hebrew text, the word for "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. It reflects the understanding that victory and success are not achieved through human strength alone but through divine intervention and support. Historically, the Israelites often found themselves in situations where their own resources were insufficient, and they had to depend on God's power to overcome their adversaries. This reliance on God is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms, reminding believers of the importance of faith and trust in God's omnipotence.

we will perform with valor
The phrase "perform with valor" suggests courage and bravery in the face of adversity. The Hebrew root word "chayil" is often associated with strength, efficiency, and capability, particularly in battle. This reflects the confidence that comes from knowing that God is on their side. In the historical context of ancient Israel, battles were not just physical confrontations but spiritual ones as well, where the outcome was believed to be determined by God's favor. This phrase encourages believers to act boldly and with confidence, knowing that their efforts are undergirded by divine strength.

and He
This pronoun refers back to God, emphasizing His active role in the lives of His people. It is a reminder that God is not distant or detached but is intimately involved in the affairs of those who trust in Him. The personal involvement of God in the struggles and victories of His people is a central theme in the Bible, providing assurance that they are not alone in their endeavors.

will trample our enemies
The imagery of trampling suggests a decisive and overwhelming victory. The Hebrew word "ramas" conveys the idea of treading down or subduing completely. This reflects the belief that God will not only assist but will ensure the complete defeat of the adversaries. In the historical context, this would have been a powerful assurance to the Israelites, who often faced formidable foes. Spiritually, it symbolizes the ultimate triumph of good over evil, and for Christians, it is a foreshadowing of Christ's victory over sin and death. This phrase inspires believers to trust in God's ultimate justice and deliverance, reinforcing the hope that no enemy is too great for God to overcome.

Verse 12. - Through God we shall do valiantly. No miracle is expected or asked for. Let God look upon us favourably - let his light shine into our hearts, and then "we ourselves shall do valiantly" - we shall gain the victory - we shall accomplish the prophecy of Balaam (Numbers 24:18); and Edom shall pass into our possession. (For the fulfilment, see 2 Samuel 8:14; 1 Chronicles 18:13.) For he it is that shall tread down our enemies (comp. Psalm 44:5), which has the same meaning, "Through thy Name will we tread them under that rise up against us." (For the extent to which Edom was trodden down, see 1 Kings 11:15, 16.)
