Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 60:12
CONFIDENCE IN GOD"Through God we shall do valiantly;For he it is that will tread down our enemies."These glorying words of confidence do not belong immediately after a complaint that God had deserted their armies and had cast Israel off. To us this is more than sufficient reason for returning to the KJV for Psalms 60:10."No miracle is expected. Let God look upon us favorably; let his light shine into our hearts; and `With God, we shall do valiantly.'"[12]"He will tread down our enemies" (Psalms... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 60:1-12
Psalms 60The occasion for this national (communal) lament psalm was Israel’s victory over the Arameans and the Edomites (cf. 2 Samuel 8:13; 1 Kings 11:15-16; 1 Chronicles 18:12). Naharaim (lit. rivers) and Zobah were regions in Aram. In this battle, Joab was responsible for defeating 12,000 Edomites (2 Samuel 8:13). Joab’s brother Abishai was the field commander, and the writer of Chronicles gave him the credit for the victory (1 Chronicles 18:12).This is a didactic psalm according to the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 60:11-12
David acknowledged that victory had to come from God. The Israelites could not obtain it without His help. However, with His aid, they could and would overcome valiantly. [Note: See Allen, Rediscovering Prophecy, pp. 108-28.] Both victory and defeat come from God. Consequently, believers should look to Him in both situations, and should rely on His supernatural strength and His covenant promises for success against their enemies. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 60:1-12
Title.—(RV) ’For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.’Shushan-eduth (’the lily of the testimony’) denotes that this Ps. was set to the same melody as Psalms 45, 69, 80. For ’Michtam’.see Psalms 16. The historical occasion in the title is described in 2 Samuel 8:3-8, 2 Samuel 8:13-14; 1 Chronicles 18:3-8, 1 Chronicles 18:12-13, but in... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 60:1-12
Psalms 60:1-12THIS psalm has evidently a definite historical background. Israel has been worsted in fight, but still continues its campaign against Edom. Meditating on God’s promises, the psalmist anticipates victory, which will cover defeat and perfect partial successes, and seeks to breathe his own spirit of confidence into the ranks of his countrymen. But the circumstances answering to those required by the psalm are hard to find. The date assigned by the superscription cannot be called... read more

Psalms 60:0 The Lord with His People 1. Confessions and prayer (Psalms 60:1-5 ) 2. The inheritance anticipated (Psalms 60:6-8 ) 3. Faith’s certainty (Psalms 60:9-12 ) This Psalm, “Shushan-Eduth” (the lily of testimony), also a Michtam of David, has for its beginning a confession of the godly in Israel. The Lord they acknowledge had scattered them and is angry with them. They pray for restoration. “That thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand and hear me.” Then He hears and... read more
