Psalms 108:6-13

6 That thy beloved may be delivered, give help by thy right hand, and answer me!

7 God has promised in his sanctuary: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manas'seh is mine; E'phraim is my helmet; Judah my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Hast thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.

12 O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man!

13 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.

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.
