Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 60:4

"Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah" — Psalms 60:4 (ASV)

You have given. —Amid the uncertainty surrounding this verse, one thing is certain: the Authorized Version's rendering of its second clause must be abandoned. Instead of koshet (truth), we must read with the Septuagint and Symmachus kesheth (a bow). It is more than doubtful whether the preposition rendered because of can have that meaning. Nor can the rendering of the verb, that it may be displayed, be defended. Render it as: You have given Your fearers a banner, that they may rally to it from before the bow, and compare Isaiah 13:2.
