My hands made (or used) the organ; and my fingers fitted (or played on) the psaltery or harp: 3. And who hath declared to my Lord? he is Lord, he hath heard. 4. He sent his angel, and took me from my father's sheep; and anointed me with the oil of his anointing, 5. My brethren were goodly and great; and the Lord delighted not in them. 6. I went forth to meet the stranger (the Philistine), and he cursed me by his idols: 7. And I threw at him three stones into his forehead, by the power of the Lord, and laid him prostrate {z}. 8. I drew out the sword from him; I cut off his head, and took away reproach from the children of Israel. {z} This verse is only in the Arabic version.   John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible.

108:1-13 We may usefully select passages from different psalms, as here, Ps 57; 60, 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.

This he repeats in this place, either because, though the enemies were defeated and subdued, yet there was some strong city or cities which were not yet taken; or in way of thankful commemoration of God’s goodness in answering his former requests, as if he had said, I remember this day, to thy glory and my own comfort, my former straits and dangers, which made mile cry out, Who will bring me , &c.?

PSALM 108 Ps 108:1-13. This Psalm is composed of Ps 108:1-5 of Ps 57:7-11; and Ps 108:6-12 of Ps 60:5-12. The varieties are verbal and trivial, except that in Ps 108:9, "over Philistia will I triumph," differs from Ps 60:8, the interpretation of which it confirms. Its altogether triumphant tone may intimate that it was prepared by David, omitting the plaintive portions of the other Psalms, as commemorative of God's favor in the victories of His people.

10 . into the strong city ] Into the fortified city , a different word from that in Psalm 60:9 , though with similar meaning. Probably Sela or Petra, the capital of Edom, famous for its inaccessibility ( Obadiah 1:3 ), was meant in the original Psalm. who will lead me into Edom ?] The verb is in the perfect tense, and the R.V. renders, Who hath led me into Edom ? But such a reference to some previous successful invasion does not suit the context. The Ancient Versions all render by the future, and the perfect is sometimes used in questions in Hebrew to express difficulty or hopelessness. ‘Who,’ it implies, ‘could lead me right into (the preposition is emphatic) Edom? The obstacles are apparently insuperable.’ See Driver, Tenses , § 19.

Psalm 60:7-14 forms this second half. The clause expressing the purpose with למען, as in its original, has the following הושׁיעה for its principal clause upon which it depends. Instead of ועננוּ, which one might have expected, the expression used here is וענני without any interchange of the mode of writing and of reading it; many printed copies have ועננו here also; Baer, following Norzi, correctly has וענני. Instead of ולי...לי, Psalm 60:9 , we here read לי...לי, which is less soaring. And instead of Cry aloud concerning me, O Philistia do I shout for joy (the triumphant cry of the victor); in accordance with which Hupfeld wishes to take התרועעי in the former as infinitive: "over (עלי instead of עלי) Philistia is my shouting for joy" (התרועעי instead of התרועעי, since the infinitive does not admit of this pausal form of the imperative). For עיר מצור we have here the more usual form of expression עיר מבצר. Psalm 108:12 is weakened by the omission of the אתּה (הלא).

Foreign nations are then presented as subdued. 8. Moab —is a my washpot—the most ordinary vessel. over —or, "at" Edom —(as a slave) he casts his shoe. Philistia, triumph, &c.—or, rather, "shout." ## for me —acknowledges subjection (compare Psalms 108:9, "over Philistia will I triumph"). 9, 10. He feels assured that, though once angry, God is now ready to favor His people. who will lead me —or, who has led me, as if the work were now begun. 10. Wilt not thou? —or, "Is it not Thou?" 11, 12. Hence he closes with a prayer for success, and an assurance of a hearing. ## PSALM 61 Psalms 61:1-8. Neginah —or, Neginoth (see on Psalms 4:1, title). Separated from his usual spiritual privileges, perhaps by Absalom's rebellion, the Psalmist prays for divine aid, and, in view of past mercies, with great confidence of being heard. 1-3. From the end —that is, places remote from the sanctuary (Deuteronomy 28:64). 2. heart is overwhelmed —literally, "covered over with darkness," or, "distress." to the rock —(Psalms 18:2; 40:2). higher than I —which otherwise I cannot ascend. 3. shelter … and strong tower —repeat the same sentiment. 4. I will abide —So I desire to do (compare Psalms 23:6). trust in the covert, &c.— make my refuge, in the shadow (compare Psalms 17:8; 36:7). 5. the heritage —or, part in the spiritual blessings of Israel (Psalms 21:2-4). vows —implies prayers. 6, 7. the king —himself and his royal line ending in Christ. Mercy and truth personified, as in Psalms 40:11; 57:3. 7.
