Psalms 60:6-8

Rejected Armies, God's Banner, and Victory Through the LORD

Rejected and shaken people plead for restoration, rally under God's banner, hear God's holy claim over land and nations, and confess that only with God can they gain victory.

6God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

8Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
