Psalms 108:6-13

6 that thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead shall be mine; Manasseh shall be mine; Ephraim also shall be the strength of my head; Judah shall be my lawgiver;

9 Moab shall be my washpot; over Edom I will cast my shoe; over Philistia I will triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11 Surely thou, O God, who had cast us off and did not, O God, go forth with our hosts.

12 Give us help from trouble; for the salvation of man is deception.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly, for he shall tread down our enemies again.

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.
