Context of Psalms 108:8

6So that Your beloved may be rescued, Save with Your right hand, and answer me! 7God has spoken in His holiness: “I will triumph, I will divide up Shechem, And measure out the Valley of Succoth. Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. 9Moab is My washbowl; I will throw My sandal over Edom; I will shout aloud over Philistia.” 10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
