The help of man is worthless, I watch for you

Psalm 60:1-12
Failure and victory to the enemy is by handled the Lord.
Psalmist prayed to the Lord his motion and prayed from downfall to glad.
For those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled(打出) against the bow.
Only God can bring me to the fortified city, He will lead me to Edom!
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
With God we will gain the victory and he will trample down our enemies.-- faith and proclaim.
God's word in verse 8 were realized in eventual victory. God proclaims the land and people of Israel as his own: Shechem, in the heart of the country between Mts Ebal and Gerizim; Succoth, a city east of the Jordan; Gilead, Israelite land east of the Jordan; Manasseh, Ephraim, Judah, the 'big three' of the 12 tribes. He declares his power over Israel's traditional enemies.
Why?
God had rejected them but psalmist still pray to the Lord, for the help of man is worthless.
With God we can gain the victory, God help those who fear Him.
Why I have to care the motion or action of man, my help is from the Lord, Almighty.
How?
I watch for you, O God. for the help of man is worthless.
