Psalms 60:6 - Exposition

God hath spoken in his holiness; or, promised by his holiness (comp. Psalms 89:35 ). As God is holy, he cannot falsify his promises. I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth; i . e . I will distribute Canaan among my people—both the western region, of which Shechem was the chief town ( 1 Kings 12:25 ), and the eastern, which contained "the valley of Succoth" ( Genesis 33:17 ). God, having assigned the whole laud to his people ( Genesis 13:14 , Genesis 13:15 ), "meted it out" through Joshua, his servant, and gave to each tribe its inheritance.
