詩篇 60:8-9 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:6-8

Appeal is next made in God's promises. Some suppose that a Divine oracle had been recently given to David himself, and that he here records the words of it. But, in that case, it is difficult to account for the despondent tone of Psalms 60:1-4 . Hengstenberg's explanation seems preferable, that David now encourages himself by a "reference to the general aspect of the assurances given in the Pentateuch in regard to the possession of the land of Canaan in its widest extent, and to victory over... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:8

Moab is my washpot. A term of extreme contempt (see Herod; 2:172). The subjugation of Moab was prophesied by Balaam ( Numbers 24:17 ), and effected by David ( 2 Samuel 8:2 ). Over Edom will I cast out my shoe . The reference to Ruth 4:7 , Ruth 4:8 , which is commonly made, is very doubtful. Probably no more is intended than that Edom will be a slave of so low a rank as only to clean the shoes of its master. The subjugation of Edom, like that of Moab, had been prophesied by Balaam (... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:9

Who will bring me into the strong city? The "strong city" of Edom was Sela, "The Cliff"—now Petra. And it was a city of enormous strength, rock hewn in the main, and guarded by frightful precipices. Who will conduct me through its strong natural and artificial defences, and give me possession of the place? Who will lead me into Edom? Who will even bring me into the country? The Edomites, flushed with their recent victory, will, of course, dispute my entrance. Who will enable me to overcome... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 60:9-12

Rehearsal of God's promises has raised the psalmist out of despondency, and he can now confidently call God to his assistance. Edom is to be conquered, for so God has premised ( Psalms 60:8 ). But how? Who will lead out Israel's armies? Will God, who has lately "cast Israel off"? If not, it must he man. But "vain is the help of man" ( Psalms 60:11 ). So the call is made that God will give help in the trouble—and with the call comes full confidence—and the triumphant cry goes forth,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 60:8

Moab 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 also implies that Moab was not regarded... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 60:9

Who will bring me into the strong city? - The strong city - the fenced, the fortified city - referred to here is doubtless the capital of Idumea. This was the celebrated city Petra, situated in the rocks, and so difficult to be taken by an enemy. For a description of it, see the notes at Isaiah 16:1. It was this city, as the capital of the land of Edom, which David was now so anxious to secure; and he asks, therefore, with interest, who among his captains, his mighty men, would undertake the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 60:8

Psalms 60:8. Moab is my wash-pot The wash-pot being a mean article of household stuff, for the use of the feet, (as the Syriac interprets it,) the lowest part of the body, it is a fit title for the Moabites, whom David intended to bring into the lowest degree of servitude, and to render contemptible, 2 Samuel 8:2. Over Edom An old, proud, insolent, and cruel enemy of Israel; will I cast my shoe I will use them like slaves. I will, as it were, trample upon them; a proverbial... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 60:9-10

Psalms 60:9-10. Who will bring me into the strong city, &c. As if he had said, These are difficult things indeed; and I may well ask, when I consider how potent these nations are, By what power shall I enter that strongly fenced city? (or, cities rather, the singular number being put for the plural.) Who is it that will conduct me into Idumea, and make me master of it? None can do it but God. Having beaten his enemies out of the field, he desires God’s assistance to take their strong... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12

Psalms 60:0 Psalm Victory over EdomIn the war outlined in 2 Samuel 8:3-14 (and dealt with in more detail in 2 Samuel 10:1-19) David fought on many fronts. The present psalm concerns Israel’s victory in a battle against Edom. Because of the widespread military activity, a number of people and places are named in the accounts in 2 Samuel and in the heading to this psalm. Also three different leaders are named as bringing victory to Israel. The first is David, who was the supreme commander in... read more
