Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Psalm 108:11 belongs to a psalm of praise that pleads for victory, crying out to God who has cast off His people to go forth with their armies.
The verse fits the history of the early church in Acts 5-12. That history includes God's severe rebuke of sin and His wonder-working in the church after sin was rebuked, together with trial before the council and faithful witnessing in life and in death. It includes also the scattering of the disciples to bear the truth, the conversion of Saul, and the opening of light to the Gentiles. It includes answered earnest prayer for Peter in imprisonment and the death of the mad wicked king as a manifestation of inward depravity.
