Psalm 60
David remembering God's judgments on the land, prays for
help, ver. 1-5. Triumphs in confidence of receiving it, ver. 6-12.
To the chief musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to
teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim, and with Aram-
zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of
salt, twelve thousand. Title of the psalm. Shushan-eduth - This
seems to be the name of an instrument, or tune, then well known,
but now unknown and forgotten. To teach - For the special
instruction of God's people. Aram-naharaim - The Syrians (so
called from Aram, the son of Shem, Gen. x, 22,) of the two rivers,
or of Mesopotamia, the country between Tygris and Euphrates.
Aram-zobah - The Syrians of Zobah, part of Syria so called.
Verse 2. Tremble - A poetical expression, signifying great changes
among the people.
Verse 3. To drink - Thou hast filled us with no less honour, than men
intoxicated with strong drink.
Verse 4. A banner - Which is a sign and instrument,
1. Of union. This people who were lately divided, thou hast united
under one banner, under my government:
2. Of battle. Thou hast given us an army, and power to oppose our
enemies; which blessing God gave to Israel, for the sake of those
few sincere Israelites who were among them. The truth - Not for
any merit of ours, but to shew thy faithfulness in making good thy
promises.
Verse 5. Beloved - Thy beloved people.
Verse 6. Rejoice - Therefore I will turn my prayers into praises, for what
God has already done. Divide - Which supposeth possession and
dominion. Shechem - A place within Jordan, in mount Ephraim.
Succoth - A place without Jordan. He mentions Shechem, and
Succoth; for all the land of Canaan, within and without Jordan.
Verse 7. Gilead - All the land beyond Jordan, which was possessed by
Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh -
The other half of that tribe within Jordan. The strength - A chief
part of my strength, either to offend mine enemies, or to defend
myself. For this tribe was very numerous, and valiant and rich.
Law-giver - The chief seat of my throne and kingdom, and of the
inferior throne of judgment, chap. 1xxii, 5.
Verse 8. Wash-pot - In which I shall wash my feet. I shall bring them
into the lowest degree of servitude. Shoe - I will use them like
slaves; a proverbial expression. Triumph - It is an ironical
expression, signifying that her triumphs were come to an end.
Verse 9. Who - None can do it but God. City - The cities; the singular
number for the plural. Having beaten his enemies out of the field,
he desires God's assistance to take their strong-holds, and so
secure himself from farther attempts. Edom - Which was an high
and rocky country, Obad 1-3, fortified by nature, as well as by art,
and therefore not to be subdued without a Divine hand.
Verse 10. Hadst cut off - But now hast graciously returned to us.
