Genesis 15:6
6And ahe believed the Lord, and bhe counted it to him as righteousness.Genesis 32:9-12
9And Jacob said, c“O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who dsaid to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,’ 10 eI am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. 11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for fI fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children. 12But gyou said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’”Genesis 32:28
28Then he said, h“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, ▼▼ Israel means He strives with God, or God strives
for jyou have striven with God and kwith men, and have prevailed.” Exodus 14:13-14
13And Moses said to the people, l“Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For mthe Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 nThe Lord will fight for you, and you have only oto be silent.”Exodus 14:31
31 pIsrael saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they qbelieved in the Lord and in his servant Moses.1 Samuel 7:9-12
9So Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. And rSamuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord answered him. 10As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel. sBut the Lord thundered with a mighty sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were defeated before Israel. 11And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them, as far as below Beth-car.12Then Samuel ttook a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen ▼

and called its name Ebenezer; ▼▼ Ebenezer means stone of help
for he said, “Till now the Lord has helped us.” Psalms 44:1-7

1 O God, we have heard with our ears,your fathers have told us,
what deeds you performed in their days,
zin the days of old:
2you with your own hand aadrove out the nations,
but abthem you planted;
you afflicted the peoples,
but acthem you set free;
3for not adby their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
and aethe light of your face,
affor you delighted in them.
4 agYou are my King, O God;
ahordain salvation for Jacob!
5Through you we aipush down our foes;
through your name we ajtread down those who rise up against us.
6For not in akmy bow do I trust,
nor can my sword save me.
7But you have saved us from our foes
and have alput to shame those who hate us.
