Context of Psalms 60:8

6God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me. 9Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom? 10Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

Commentaries on Psalms 60:8

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Moab is my washpot - The Moabites shall be reduced to the meanest slavery.

It implies that Moab was already subdued, and that the author of the psalm could make any use of it he pleased. It…Read the comment

Taking courage from God's promise to give them possession (Ex 23:31; De 11:24) (and perhaps renewed to him by special revelation), with triumphant joy he describes the conquest as already made.
