What Does Psalms 108:13 Mean?

Valiantly means with strength, valor, and excellence. The subject is 'we'—the people of God collectively. This success is not the psalmist's alone but shared. The foundation is 'through God': His power is the source of all valiant action. In partnership with God, the people can do what they could not do alone.

Treading down enemies is God's action—crushing opposition beneath His feet. The psalmist concludes with confidence: God is the one who secures victory. This assurance answers all the questions and appeals that came before: God will act, and through Him, the people will prevail.
