Context — Israel’s Kingdom Blessing
8Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
9Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? 12Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.Cross References

| 1 | Obadiah 1:3–4 | The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’ Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD. |
| 2 | Isaiah 63:1–6 | Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.” Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress? “I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained. For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come. I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me. I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.” |
| 3 | Psalms 20:6–8 | Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. |

Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him. If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted? But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more. Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.” For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too. For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.” I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!” “For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men. The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD. |
Psalms 108:10 Summary
The psalmist is asking God to bring him to the fortified city of Edom, which was a strong and enemy nation. He wants to see God's power and triumph over this nation, just like God had done with other nations in the past (as seen in Isaiah 34:5-6). This verse is a cry for help and a desire to see God's deliverance, much like the psalmist's cry in Psalms 13:1-2. The psalmist is trusting in God's power and sovereignty, even when faced with strong enemies, and we can learn from his example to trust in God's power in our own lives (Romans 8:37).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fortified city in Psalms 108:10?
The fortified city is likely a reference to the strongholds of Edom, which was a nation that often opposed Israel, as seen in 2 Chronicles 28:17 and Ezekiel 35:15.
Why is the psalmist asking to be brought to Edom?
The psalmist is asking to be brought to Edom because he wants to see God's triumph over this enemy nation, much like God's triumph over other nations in Isaiah 34:5-6 and Jeremiah 25:21.
Is the psalmist expressing doubt about God's power?
The psalmist is not expressing doubt, but rather a desire to see God's power and deliverance, as expressed in Psalms 44:23-26 and similar to the cry for help in Psalms 13:1-2.
What is the significance of the psalmist's question in the context of the surrounding verses?
The psalmist's question in Psalms 108:10 serves as a bridge between God's declaration of ownership over various nations in Psalms 108:8-9 and the expression of concern about God's presence with Israel's armies in Psalms 108:11-12, highlighting the tension between God's sovereignty and Israel's experiences.
Reflection Questions
- What are the strongholds in my life that I need God to bring me to, and how can I trust in His power to overcome them?
- How can I, like the psalmist, express my desire to see God's triumph over the enemies of my soul, and what does this say about my faith?
- In what ways can I identify with the psalmist's sense of longing for God's presence and deliverance, and how can I apply this to my own prayer life?
- What does this verse reveal about the nature of God's relationship with His people, and how can I deepen my understanding of this relationship in my own life?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 108:10
[See comments on Psalms 60:9].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 108:10
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 108:10
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.?
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 108:10
Verse 10. The strong city] The possession of the metropolis is a sure proof of the subjugation of the country.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 108:10
10. into the strong city] Into the fortified city, a different word from that in Psalms 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.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 108:10
Who will bring me ... - This is taken, without alteration, from Psalms 60:9.
