What does Psalm 108:7 mean?

The source version of this verse (Psalm 60:6) uses identical Hebrew words, though some translations render one as "promised" and the other as "spoken." David wrote the original psalm in response to a surprise invasion by the nation of Edom (Psalm 60:1–3). After David's plea for help, God declared His intent to be glorified in what would happen next.

Jacob, the man later renamed "Israel" (Genesis 32:28), lived and worked for a time in Succoth (Genesis 33:17). He also lived and did business near Shechem (Genesis 33:18–20). Both were west of the Jordan River. God's declaration that He will "portion out" these lands implies His absolute ownership. In one sense, this was a guarantee from the Lord that Israel would win their impending battle. In another, it's a reminder that God is sovereign and all-powerful.
