Context of Psalms 60:7
5Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered. 6God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth. Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. 8Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
