Psalms 108:8-13

8 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too; Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my royal scepter.

9 But I will use Moab as my washbowl, and I will throw my sandals on Edom, as a sign that I own it. I will shout in triumph over the Philistines."

10 Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have you really rejected us? Aren't you going to march out with our armies?

12 Help us against the enemy; human help is worthless.

13 With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.

Psalms 108:8-13 Meaning and Commentary

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.
