PSALM 60

GOD WILL TREAD DOWN OUR FOES

Because of the staggering hardship of God’s people, David feels rejected by God. 

David recalls God’s Word, comparing the kingdom of Moab to a washbasin, an insignificant and lowly object. In contrast, the tribe of Judah is referred to as God’s scepter, a symbol of authority and power. Despite God’s anger towards Israel’s rebellion, God will ultimately bring a Savior from the line of Judah who will have the final victory over sin and death.  

Psalm 60:1 - O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us.
