Psalms 108:8-13

8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab is my washtub. I will throw my shoe over Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."

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

11 Isn't it you, O God, who rejected us? Isn't it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?

12 Give us help against the enemy because human assistance is worthless.

13 With God we will display great strength. He will trample our enemies.

Psalms 108:8-13 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.
