John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 60:4

A banner — Which is a sign and instrument, Of union. This people who were lately divided, thou hast united under one banner, under my government: Of battle. Thou hast given us an army, and power to oppose our enemies; which blessing God gave to Israel, for the sake of those few sincere Israelites who were among them. The truth — Not for any merit of ours, but to shew thy faithfulness in making good thy promises.
