Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 60:12
Theological / DevotionalDo valiantly. Literally, “achieve might” (see Ps. 118:16). The Hebrew word for “might” (chayil) contains the idea of power or ability to accomplish. Chayil is used to describe the worth and efficiency of a woman (see Ruth 3:11; see on Prov. 31:10); also the valor of a brave warrior (Joshua 1:14; 1 Chron. 5:24).
Our enemies. The psalm, though beginning in humiliation, closes in confident hope (see Ps. 44:5). David was permitted to see the answer to his prayer. Before the close of his reign Israel had greatly extended her boundaries. The promises to Abraham were beginning to be fulfilled (see Gen. 15:18; see on 1 Kings 4:21).
