Psalms 60:7

_ _ Gilead ... and Manasseh — as large districts, east and west of Jordan, represent the whole land.

_ _ divide ... and mete out — means to have entire control over.

_ _ Ephraim — denotes the military (Deuteronomy 33:17); and —

_ _ Judah — (the lawgiver, Genesis 49:10), the civil power. Foreign nations are then presented as subdued.
