Psalms 108:6-13

6 That your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us.

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shekhem, and measure out the valley of Sukkot.

8 Gil`ad is mine. Menashsheh is mine. Efrayim also is my helmet. Yehudah is my scepter.

9 Mo'av is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Peleshet."

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11 Haven't you rejected us, God? You don't go forth, God, with our armies.

12 Give us help against the enemy, For the help of man is vain.

13 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies.

Psalms 108:6-13 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.
