Psalms 60:6

60:6 God has spoken in his sanctuary:

“I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem;

the Valley of Succoth I will measure off.

Psalms 68:23

68:23 so that your feet may stomp in their blood,

and your dogs may eat their portion of the enemies’ corpses.”


tn Heb “in his holy place.”

sn Shechem stands for the territory west of the Jordan, the Valley of Succoth for the region east of the Jordan.

tc Some (e.g. NRSV) prefer to emend מָחַץ (makhats, “smash; stomp”; see v. 21) to רָחַץ (rakhats, “bathe”; see Ps 58:10).

tn Heb “[and] the tongue of your dogs from [the] enemies [may eat] its portion.”
