In the biblical context, the right hand symbolizes power and authority. The right hand of God is often associated with His strength and ability to save (<a href="/exodus/15-6.htm">Exodus 15:6</a>, <a href="/psalms/118-16.htm">Psalm 118:16</a>). This imagery is used throughout Scripture to convey God's might and His active role in the salvation of His people. The request for God to "respond" indicates a desire for immediate action, reflecting the urgency and desperation of the situation faced by the psalmist. Historically, the Israelites often found themselves in dire circumstances, surrounded by enemies, and in need of God's powerful intervention.<p><b>that Your beloved may be delivered</b><br>The term "Your beloved" refers to those who are in a covenant relationship with God, often representing the nation of Israel or the faithful remnant within it. This phrase underscores the special relationship between God and His people, highlighting His love and commitment to them. The concept of being "delivered" is central to the biblical narrative, where God repeatedly rescues His people from physical and spiritual dangers. This deliverance is not only a historical reality but also a prophetic foreshadowing of the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who is often seen as the fulfillment of God's promises to His beloved. The deliverance sought here is both immediate, in the context of the psalmist's situation, and eschatological, pointing to the ultimate salvation found in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/60.htm">Psalm 60</a>, David was the king of Israel and a man after God's own heart.

Possibly, indeed, they formed an original poem by themselves, an ancient oracular saying descriptive of the relations of Israel to the tribes bordering on her territory, and were then employed by the compilers of this psalm and Psalms 108, to rouse the drooping spirits of the race in some less fortunate time. (See <span class= "ital">Introduction.</span>) The speaker is God Himself, who, according to a familiar prophetic figure, appears in the character of a warrior, the captain of Israel, proclaiming the triumphs won through His might by their arms. (Comp. <a href="/context/isaiah/63-1.htm" title="Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.">Isaiah 63:1-6</a>.) Here, however, the picture is rather playful than terrible--rather ironic than majestic. The conqueror is returning, as in the passage of Isaiah referred to above, from the battle, but he is not painted "glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength." The fury of the fight, the carnage, the bloodstained garments are all implied, not described. Instead of answering a challenge, as in Isaiah, by a description of the fight, here the champion simply proclaims the result of his victory as he proceeds to disarm and prepare for the bath--figures expressing the utmost contempt for the foe so easily subdued.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/60.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me;</span> rather, <span class="accented">hear us</span>.
