Psalms 108
David declares his steadfast heart to praise Elohim with music and exalts his mercy and truth, praying for deliverance of his beloved and YHWH's glory over the earth.[1][2] YHWH speaks of dividing Shechem and Succoth, claiming Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim as helmet, and Judah as scepter, while treating Moab as washbasin, casting shoe over Edom, and triumphing over Philistia; David seeks aid against foes, affirming victory through Elohim alone.[1][3]
