Exodus 28, Powerful redemption
Additional studies: Exodus Index
The ephod is a garment unique to the priesthood. It served as the backdrop for the remembrance stones, engraved with the names of the twelve tribes, to be borne before YHVH continually whenever the high priest ministered in the Holy Place. The Hebrew Root Word parable for Strong’s H646, אפד ephod is of powerful (aleph) redemption; portrayed by an opened (pey) door (dalet). When someone is redeemed from slavery, the door that once held them captive is flung wide so they can walk out free.
Psalm 60, Chiastic structure

God/ the King exults, and cries aloud with rejoicing, because He knows what will play out. Philistia, on the other hand, cries aloud (with dismay implied), because the enemies of God realize that He has defeated them. God, triumphant over the nations, is our help against trouble and adversaries.
