What does Psalms 60:8 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 60:6-10

6-10. God hath spoken in--or, "by." his holiness--(Psa 89:35; Am 4:2), on the pledge of His attributes (Psa 22:3; 30:4).

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 8 Moab is my washpot - The Moabites shall be reduced to the meanest slavery. Over Edom will I cast out my shoe - I will make a complete conquest of Idumea, and subject the Edomites to the meanest offices, as well as the Moabites.

The words here seem to predict their entire subjugation. In an essay for a new translation of the Bible, there is what appears to me a correct paraphrase of the seventh and eighth verses: "Gilead and Manasseh have submitted unto me; Ephraim furnishes me with valiant men, and Judah with men of prudence and wisdom. I will reduce the Moabites to servitude; I will triumph over the Edomites, and make them my slaves; and the Philistines shall add to my triumph."

The Israel of God are…
