In the Old Testament, the sanctuary often refers to the tabernacle or temple, where God's presence dwelt among His people. This setting underscores the authority and sacredness of the proclamation. The sanctuary is a place of divine revelation, where God communicates His will to His people, as seen in <a href="/exodus/25-8.htm">Exodus 25:8-9</a>, where God instructs Moses to build a sanctuary so He may dwell among them.<p><b>I will triumph!</b><br>This declaration of victory reflects God's sovereign power and assurance of success over His enemies. It is a statement of divine confidence and authority, reminiscent of God's promises to Israel throughout the Old Testament, such as in <a href="/deuteronomy/20-4.htm">Deuteronomy 20:4</a>, where God assures His people of victory in battle. This triumph is not just military but also spiritual, foreshadowing the ultimate victory of God over sin and death through Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 Corinthians 15:57</a>.<p><b>I will parcel out Shechem:</b><br>Shechem holds significant historical and covenantal importance in the Bible. It is the site where God first promised the land to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12-6.htm">Genesis 12:6-7</a>) and where Joshua renewed the covenant with Israel (<a href="/joshua/24.htm">Joshua 24:1-25</a>). By mentioning Shechem, the verse highlights God's ongoing faithfulness to His covenant promises. The act of parceling out land signifies God's authority to distribute the land according to His will, reinforcing His role as the divine ruler and provider.<p><b>and apportion the Valley of Succoth:</b><br>The Valley of Succoth is located east of the Jordan River, near the Jabbok River. It is associated with Jacob's journey and settlement after reconciling with Esau (<a href="/genesis/33-17.htm">Genesis 33:17</a>). The mention of Succoth, along with Shechem, represents the breadth of God's dominion over the land promised to the descendants of Abraham. This apportioning signifies God's control over geographical and political boundaries, ensuring that His purposes are fulfilled. It also reflects the unity and completeness of God's plan for His people, encompassing both sides of the Jordan River.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, declaring His sovereign plans and authority.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/sanctuary.htm">Sanctuary</a></b><br>Represents the holy place from which God speaks, symbolizing His divine authority and presence.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/shechem.htm">Shechem</a></b><br>An ancient city in the central region of Canaan, significant in Israel's history as a place of covenant renewal.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/v/valley_of_succoth.htm">Valley of Succoth</a></b><br>A location east of the Jordan River, associated with Jacob's journey and settlement.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The attributed author of this Psalm, who often sought God's guidance and celebrated His victories.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>God declares His plans from His sanctuary, reminding us of His ultimate control over nations and history.

Shechem and Succoth appear to be named as a rude indication of the whole breadth of the country, from west to east.

Some suppose that a Divine oracle had been recently given to David himself, and that he here records the words of it. But, in that case, it is difficult to account for the despondent tone of vers. 1-4. Hengstenberg's explanation seems preferable, that David now encourages himself by a "reference to the general aspect of the assurances given in the Pentateuch in regard to the possession of the land of Canaan in its widest extent, and to victory over hostile neighbours," and that he has his eye especially on the blessing of Jacob (<a href="/genesis/49.htm">Genesis 49</a>) and the blessing of Moses (<a href="/deuteronomy/33.htm">Deuteronomy 33</a>).
