This section starts by telling us what section or area each family is working on. It gave me a thought of everyone working together for a common goal in the name of God and their people. When it came to the opposition they faced, it sounded like the people started getting discouraged but then prayer happened again and it seems they got a renewed strength from it. There is a devotional with chapter 4 that talks about this as well. It speaks of gaining a new perspective or renewed perspective and finding renewed strength to complete the task ahead of you. So when you feel like calling it quits, this is a time when you should turn to prayer.
This psalm sounds like they are asking God to destroy their enemies and gives past examples. At the end it asks that God make known himself to these enemies.

Prayer really does seem to be a common theme so far in this book. I know you mentioned that previously, but this chapter is a great reminder that if we turn to God in prayer he will hear us and we can find some comfort in him.
