Psalms 108:8-9

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Psalms 108:8-9 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.
