Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

Has the LORD redeemed you?
Then speak out!
Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
Those who are wise will take all this to heart;
they will see in our history
the faithful love of the LORD.
Psalm 107:2, 6, 13, 19, 28, 43

And now,
Israel,
what does the LORD your God require of you?
He requires only that you fear the LORD your God,
and live in a way that pleases him,
and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.
For the LORD your God
is the God of gods and Lord of lords.
He is the great God,
the mighty and awesome God,
who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.
You must fear the LORD your God
and worship him and cling to him…
He alone is your God,
the only one who is worthy of your praise…

…The LORD is our God,
the LORD alone.
And you must love the LORD your God
with all your heart,
all your soul,
and all your strength.
And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly
to these commands that I am giving you today.
Repeat them again and again to your children.
Talk about them when you are at home
and when you are on the road,
when you are going to bed
and when you are getting up.
