Psalms 108:4-13

4 For Your ¹lovingkindness is great ²above * the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the skies.

5 ³Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth.

6 ⁴That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7 God has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem And measure out the valley of Succoth.

8 "Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; ⁵Judah is My scepter.

9 "Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Over Philistia I will shout aloud."

10 ⁶Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have not You Yourself, O God, ⁷rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

12 Oh give us help against the adversary, For ⁸deliverance by man is in vain.

13 Through God we will do valiantly, And ⁹it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 108

\\<>\\. This psalm consists of several passages out of the fifty seventh and sixtieth psalms, with very little variation. Jarchi and Kimchi refer it to the times of the Messiah. The title in the Syriac version is, ``concerning the calling of the Gentiles,'' to which, no doubt, it has respect.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
