8 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
8 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
8 Moab's a scrub bucket, I mop the floor with Moab, Spit on Edom, rain fireworks all over Philistia."
8 Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me."
8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia."
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
9 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9 Moab's a scrub bucket - I mop the floor with Moab, Spit on Edom, rain fireworks all over Philistia."
9 Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph."
9 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia."
We may usefully select passages from different psalms, as here, Psalm 57, to help our devotions, and enliven our gratitude. When the heart is firm in faith and love, the tongue, being employed in grateful praises, is our glory. Every gift of the Lord honours and profits the possessor, as it is employed in God's service and to his glory. Believers may pray with assured faith and hope, for all the blessings of salvation; which are secured to them by the faithful promise and covenant of God. Then let them expect from him help in every trouble, and victory in every conflict. Whatever we do, whatever we gain, God must have all the glory. Lord, visit all our souls with this salvation, with this favour which thou bearest to thy chosen people.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 60:8
Commentary on Psalm 60:6-12
(Read Psalm 60:6-12)
If Christ be ours, all things, one way or another, shall be for our eternal good. The man who is a new creature in Christ, may rejoice in all the precious promises God has spoken in his holiness. His present privileges, and the sanctifying influences of the Spirit, are sure earnests of heavenly glory. David rejoices in conquering the neighbouring nations, which had been enemies to Israel. The Israel of God are through Christ more than conquerors. Though sometimes they think that the Lord has cast them off, yet he will bring them into the strong city at last. Faith in the promise will assure us that it is our Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom: But we are not yet made complete conquerors, and no true believer will abuse these truths to indulge sloth, or vain confidence. Hope in God is the best principle of true courage, for what need those fear who have God on their side? All our victories are from him, and while those who willingly submit to our anointed King shall share his glories, all his foes shall be put under his feet.
