• When the restored tribes of Israel will have settled in the land their enormous numbers will so fill it that there will not be enough room for them. They will ask the Lord for more room to dwell (Isa. 49:18-23, Zec. 10:7-10). In answer to their needs the Lord in this psalm is seen laying claim to the full inheritance on both sides of the river Jordan from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River as promised to Abraham (Ps. 108:7-10, Gen. 15:18-21, Isa. 26:15 JND Translation). (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• The Lord will lead the armies of newly restored Israel in a victorious campaign into their full inheritance (Ps. 108:11-13, Isa. 11:14, Jer. 51:19-23, Mic. 4:13, Zeph. 2:9). This campaign will extend as far out as the land of Assyria whose border is the Euphrates River (Mic. 5:5-9). Enemies still existent in these parts of Israel’s inheritance such as the remainder of the Arab nations who have survived the earlier judgments will be subdued under Israel. (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
