"Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, Rise up, Lord;"
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A song. GOD IS [already] beginning to arise, and His enemies to scatter; let them also who hate Him flee before Him!
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish before the presence of God.

Rise up OH, LORD in this place. Strengthen, stablish and succeed in Your Presence. That is the prayer of our hearts whenever we are in a new place or new venture or start a new venture for the sake of the LORD.
A Psalm of David. When he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, HOW they are increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies; and awake [and stir up] for me the justice and vindication [that] You have commanded.
A Prayer of David. HEAR THE right (my righteous cause), O Lord; listen to my shrill, piercing cry! Give ear to my prayer, that comes from unfeigned and guileless lips.
Arise, O Lord! Confront and forestall them, cast them down! Deliver my life from the wicked by Your sword,
Arouse Yourself, awake to the justice due me, even to my cause, my God and my Lord!
Rise up, Oh LORD and show yourself as Top Performer of this company.
B. Let your enemies be scattered and flee before You
"let Your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate You flee before You"
I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
He delivered me from my strong enemy and from those who hated and abhorred me, for they were too strong for me.
Who delivers me from my enemies; yes, You lift me up above those who rise up against me; You deliver me from the man of violence.
O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.
