The Battle Cry of God's Presence
Commentators unanimously connect this verse to the prayer Moses used when the Ark of the Covenant, symbolizing God's presence, was moved (Numbers 10:35). It was a battle cry, declaring that when God arises and goes before His people, His enemies are inevitably scattered. This establishes a powerful principle: victory comes not from human strength, but from the active presence of God.
