References for Psa 108:9 —  1   2   3 

Psalm Ps. 108. It seems that David composed this community lament using material from two other psalms. Verses 1–5 are from 57:7–11 and 108:6–13 are from 60:5–12. In the midst of a dangerous situation, the singers express their confident hope of thanking God “among the peoples” (108:3).

Ps. 108:1–4 See 57:7–10. The opening section expresses confidence (my heart is steadfast). The basis for the confidence is God’s steadfast love and faithfulness (Ex. 34:6).

Ps. 108:5–6 The next section is a general prayer, be exalted, with a more specific plea that your beloved ones may be delivered.

Ps. 108:7–9 As with 60:6–8, these verses seem to recall an oracle (God has promised) that gives God’s plan for Israel’s place in the world.

Ps. 108:10–13 This comes from 60:9–12. Part of the background of Psalm 60 is a campaign against Edom.
