The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 108:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I east out my shoe. Identical with the first two clauses of . Over Philistia will I triumph. In the expression used is different. There we have, "Philistia, triumph thou over me," or, "because of me."

Apparently the compiler has not understood David's irony, and has therefore changed the form of the verb.
