Look back: Look back over Psalm 60 and remember David prays for God to fight on behalf of his people because the salvation man provides is worthless.

Q: What is the Lord's Prayer?

A: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
