Psalms 60:7

Psa 60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

Ver. 7. Gilead is mine and Manasseh ] These countries on the other side of Jordan the Syrians haply had gotten, and now David had recovered them.

Ephraim also is the strength of my head ] Because a populous and potent tribe. Junius thinks David here alludeth to that of Moses in his blessing of this tribe, Deuteronomy 33:17 ; as in the next words to that of Jacob, Genesis 49:10 .

Judah is my lawgiver ] There, viz. at Jerusalem, sitteth the Synedrion, Numbers 11:16 , and there is my sovereign court of justice, Psalms 122:5 , and of that tribe, Christ, the great lawgiver of his Church, shall spring.
