Psalm 108:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 God has spoken from his holy place![a]
He has promised:
‘I will show my power!
I will make Shechem into separate pieces.
I will measure Succoth Valley.
8 Gilead belongs to me,
and so does Manasseh.
Ephraim is like my helmet for war.
Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.[b]
9 But Moab is the place where I wash my hands.
Edom is my servant.
I can throw my shoes at him!
I will shout aloud,
because I have won against the Philistines.’[c]

- 108:9 Moab, Edom and the Philistines were all enemies of Israel. God will use them like his servants, to do what he wants.
