Psalms 108:1-13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

THIS is a composite psalm, made up of portions of two Davidical psalms, viz. Psalms 57:7-11, and Psalms 60:5-12, but not (probably) put into its present shape by David. It is difficult to imagine what was the occasion which was thought to call for the union of two such distinct and unconnected passages. The text, moreover, has suffered in the transfer.
