Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 60:8

8 Moab is my wash-pot ; over Edom will I cast out my shoe : Philistia, triumph thou because of me .

In which I shall wash my Feet. I shall bring them into the lowest degree of Servitude, and make them Contemptible and miserable. See 2 Sam. 8. 2.

An Old and Proud, and insolent and cruel Enemy of Israel.

(i. e.) I will use them like Slaves; Either, holding forth my Shoes, that they may pluck them off, or throwing my Shoes at them; Either, in Anger or Contempt, as the manner of many Masters was, and is in such Cases. Other, I will take Possession of them; which was done by Trading upon their Land. Or, I will tread upon their Necks, as they did in like Case, Ios. 10. 24. But these Notions suit not with this Phrase, of casting or throwing the Shoe.

Or, over me, as thou didst in former years, use to Triumph and insult over the poor Israelites. It is an ironical Expression, signifying, that her Triumphs were come to an End.

Marginal references: Or, Triumph thou over me, (by an Irony.)
