RRB notes on Psalm 60

Psalms 60 KJV

To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. [1]

[1] The entire psalm is the Second Advent. Verse 1 is the end of the Church Age. Nothing in the passage has devotional or spiritual application to any Christian who ever lived.

2. Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. [a]

[a] Isa. 2:19-21, 13:13, 14:16, 24:18-19; Joel 3:16; Hag. 2:6-7, 21; Heb. 12:26.

3. Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

4. Thou hast given a banner [b] to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

[b] Song of Sol. 6:4; Psa. 20:5; Isa. 13:2.

5. That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

8. Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: [c] Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

[c] Ruth 4:7.

9. Who will bring me into the strong city? [d] who will lead me into Edom?

[d] “Selah” – where Israel flees in the Tribulation (see note on 2 Kings 14:7) and is fed (Rev. 12:6, 14; Psa. 74:14, 78:15, 107:4, 40; Hos. 2:14; Job 30:3; Matt. 15:33; Mark 8:4; Eccl. 10:15).

10. Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

11. Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

12. Through God we shall do valiantly: [e] for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. [f]

[e] Num. 24:18.

[f] Isa. 63:1-3; Rev. 14:20, 19:11-15.

Note on 2 Kings 14:7 KJV

He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah [1] by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

[1] Here the word “Selah” is [chet-samekh-lamed-ayin]. See Psalm 3:4, 4:2, 4, 21:2, 39:5, etc., for the word “Selah” there [samekh-lamed-ayin]. On a map, it is called Selah-Petra, the “rock city.” There will be a reference to the Second Coming of Christ within two or three verses of the word every time it shows up. It is only recognized by scholars as a pause or musical note. The word means “rock” – the “rock of separations” (1 Sam. 23:28). Otherwise, it is the “Rock” mentioned over and over again in the Song of Moses (Deut. 32), with the entire song dealing with the Second Advent (cf. Psa. 107:4, 7, 36, 108:10, 31:21; Eccl. 10:15). The Jewish remnant will be going south of the Dead Sea into the “rock city” to hide in the last few hours before the Lord returns and saves them “in the nick of time” on a white horse (see App. 99).
