Context of Psalms 108:8
6That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us. 7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. 9Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout. 10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
