Context of Psalms 108:9

7God has spoken from his holy place! He has promised: ‘I will show my power! I will make Shechem into separate pieces. I will measure Succoth Valley. 8Gilead belongs to me, and so does Manasseh. Ephraim is like my helmet for war. Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre. But Moab is the place where I wash my hands. Edom is my servant. I can throw my shoes at him! I will shout aloud, because I have won against the Philistines.’ 10Who will lead me into the strong city? Who will take me to fight and win against Edom? 11God, have you really turned against us? Will you not lead our armies into battle?

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Moab … - This is fallen from Psalm 60:8. The only change is in the close of the verse. Instead of “Plilistia, triumph thou because of me” Psalm 60:8, it is here, “Over Philistia will I triumph.” Why the change was made is unknown.Read the comment
