Psalms 60:8 meaning and explanation
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
Psalms 60:8, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview

Moab, Edom and Philistia were long-standing enemies, and the images are deliberately humiliating: a washbasin is a servant's vessel, tossing a sandal on Edom claims it as footstool and property, and a shout of triumph announces victory.
