Psalms 60:6

ShechemValley of Succoth

4 You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah

5 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

8 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
