Psalms 108:4-13

4 (107-5) For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
5 (107-6) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:
6 (107-7) That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.
7 (107-8) God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
8 (107-9) Galaad is mine: and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:
9 (107-10) Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.
10 (107-11) Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 (107-12) Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
12 (107-13) O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 (107-14) Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.

Psalms 108:4-13 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.
