Psalm 108:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 Gilead belongs to me,
and so does Manasseh.
Ephraim is like my helmet for war.
Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.[a]
9 But Moab is the place where I wash my hands.
Edom is my servant.
I can throw my shoes at him!
I will shout aloud,
because I have won against the Philistines.’[b]
10 Who will lead me into the strong city?
Who will take me to fight and win against Edom?[c]
