Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 60:6

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

Having prayed that God would save and hear him, he now intimates that God had done it already, and had prevented his Prayers, and had spoken to him, and of him, about the stablishing of his Throne.

Or, in the Sanctuary, or Holy place, to which David used to resort to ask Counsel, and from whence God usually gave out his Oracles. Or rather, by his Holiness, as this very Word is rendred, Psal. 89. 35. which carries the form of an Oath, and implies that God did not simply speak, but swore by his Holiness, as it is there expressed.

Therefore I will turn my Prayers into Praises, and Rejoycings for what God had already done, and as I am assured, will further do on my behalf.

Or, Distribute; which supposeth Possession and Dominion.

A place within Iordan, in Mount Ephraim. See Gen. 33. 18. Ios. 20. 7.

A place without Iordan. See Gen. 33. 17. Ios. 13. 27. He mentions Shechem, and Succoth; Either, Synecdochically for all the Land of Canaan, within and without Iordan; which, having been formerly divided between him and Ishbosheth, was now intirely in his Possession: Or, because these two places had been in Ishbosheth's hands, and possibly were extraordinarily devoted to Saul's House, and utterly averse from David: Or, for some other Reason now unknown.
