Psalms 60:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 60:12

Through God we shall do valiantly
Or, "through the Word of the Lord", as the Targum; Christ, whose name is the Word of God, appearing at the head of his armies, in a vesture dipped in blood, and with a sharp sword proceeding out of his mouth, will inspire his people to fight valiantly under him; and who, in his name and strength, will get the victory over all their enemies, the beast, false prophets, and kings of the earth, and all under them; see ( Revelation 19:11-21 ) ;

for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies;
as mire in the street, or as grapes in a winepress; even kings, captains, mighty men, and all the antichristian nations and states; the beast, false prophet, and Satan himself, ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:18-20 ) ( Revelation 20:2 Revelation 20:10 ) ; and so there will be an end of all the enemies of Christ and his people; after which they will spend an endless eternity together, in joy, peace, and pleasure. The victory is wholly ascribed to God the Word; it is not they that shall do valiantly, that shall tread down their enemies; but he by whom they shall do valiantly shall do it; even the mighty (awh) , "He", to whom was promised, in Eden's garden, the bruising the head of the serpent, and all enemies, ( Genesis 3:15 ) ; and who has the same name here as there.

Psalms 60:12 In-Context

10 Isn't it you, O God, who rejected us? Isn't it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?
11 Give us help against the enemy because human assistance is worthless.
12 With God we will display great strength. He will trample our enemies.
