Psalms 108:7-13

7 This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

9 Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.

10 Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

11 Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.

12 Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

13 With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.

Psalms 108:7-13 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.
