Psalm 60:12
With God we shall do valiantly;
it is He who will tread down our foes.
When we play the man, God gets the glory and we see the victory. We are honored as men among men by faithfully participating in the work God is doing. He treads down those on the business end of our blows. It is God who owns the victory and His sovereign will and grace that decides the outcome.
The King-of-Glory against this Grendel a guard had set,
so heroes heard, a hall-defender,
who warded the monarch and watched for the monster.
In truth, the Geats’ prince gladly trusted
his mettle, his might, the mercy of God!
Let wisest God, sacred Lord, on which side soever
doom decree as He deemeth right.
-- Beowulf
