Context of Psalms 60:8

6God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.” 9Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

Commentaries on Psalms 60:8

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Moab is my washpot - The Moabites shall be reduced to the meanest slavery. Over Edom will I cast out my shoe - I will make a complete conquest of Idumea, and subject the Edomites to the meanest offices, as well as the Moabites. Philistia, triumph thou because of me - John Hyrcanus subdued the Idumeans, and caused them to receive circumcision, and profess the Jewish religion. The words here seem to predict their entire subjugation. In an essay for a new…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8Moab is my washpot - Moab was a region of country on the east of the Dead Sea, extending as far north as the river Arnon. See the notes at Isaiah 15:1-9. The words rendered wash-pot mean properly a pot or basin for washing, a wash-basin; and the expression is used here as one of contempt, as if he would use it as the meanest vessel is used. 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

The Israel of God are through Christ more than…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.
