Psalms 108

Psalms 108THEME: Israel’s praise and possessionThis is another psalm of David, and it is a very wonderful psalm. The first half is the same as Psalms 57, and the last is like Psalms 60. For this reason it has come under criticism and has been judged as a sort of patchwork. However, it is not that at all. If the portions of other psalms have been joined together, God has a purpose in it.

Psalms 108:1

This is Israel’s remnant, redeemed, brought home, praising and exalting the Lord. We saw this in the previous psalm. God is going to bring Israel back into the land. He will gather them from all over the world; and, when they are back in the land, they will praise and glorify God.

Psalms 108:7

These, I believe, are the words of the delivered remnant of Israel. They see themselves receiving their inheritance and dividing the land among the tribes. What a time of rejoicing that will be!
