Psalm 68:26 KJV,ASV

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 68:1-35

Psalms 68:1-35THIS superb hymn is unsurpassed, if not unequalled, in grandeur, lyric fire, and sustained rush of triumphant praise. It celebrates a victory; but it is the victory of the God who enters as a conqueror into His sanctuary. To that entrance (Psalms 68:15-18) all the preceding part of the psalm leads up; and from it all the subsequent part flows down. The Exodus is recalled as the progress of a king at the head of his hosts, and old paeans re-echo. That dwelling of God in the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 68:1-35

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 68:24-31

Is not this a similar address, from the Father to the Son, to what we meet with, Psalms 45:6-7 , and which the Holy Ghost hath explained Hebrews 1:6-9 ? And if so, what a glorious view doth it afford of God the Father's delight and glory in the salvation wrought by his dear Son? What holy triumphs are here shown to be our Christ's? Observe how the Jewish church, with her several tribes, are set forth as coming to Christ; and how the Gentile church, with Ethiopia and the Isles, (why not our... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 68:22-28

22-28 The victories with which God blessed David over the enemies of Israel, are types of Christ's victory, for himself and for all believers. Those who take him for theirs, may see him acting as their God, as their King, for their good, and in answer to their prayers; especially in and by his word and ordinances. The kingdom of the Messiah shall be submitted to by all the rulers and learned in the world. The people seem to address the king, ver. Psalms 68:28. But the words are applicable to... read more

The Exaltation and Reign of Messiah v. 18. Thou hast ascended on high, to the height, referred by Paul to the ascension of Christ, Ephesians 4:8; for the Champion of His Church, having overcome all His enemies, now gives visible evidence of His victory by ascending in triumph to heaven; Thou hast led captivity captive, Satan and his hosts, who formerly held all mankind captive, now himself being bound with everlasting chains of darkness. Thou hast received gifts for men, among men,... read more

the God of the Whole Earth Psalms 68:26-35 The constituent parts of the procession are now described, and in these closing verses the triumphal note rings out. It tells of the confidence of Israel in her ultimate dominance of the world, which was to be not physical, but moral and spiritual. The psalmist sees tribe after tribe passing into the sanctuary, and indicates each as it goes by Zebulun and Naphtali were mentioned in Deborah’s song, already quoted. They are specially noticed here,... read more
