Psalm 68:26 KJV,ASV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 68:1-35

This psalm sings the praise of the God of deliverances. It opens with a song of pure praise (verses Psa 68:1-6 ). This is then justified by a review of God's past dealings with His people (verses Psa 68:7-18 ). Finally, it affirms the present activity of God, and declares confidence in His future succor (verses Psa 68:19-35 ). In the first six verses there is a wonderful description of God in His majesty and meekness, in His might and mercy. The contrasts are remarkable. He scatters His... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 68:1-35

LXVIII. A Song of Triumph.— The most difficult of all the Pss. In some places the text is so corrupt that it defies any attempt at emendation, and the VSS give little, if any, help. The historical allusions are obscure. The poet makes use of older works, especially of “ Deborah’ s Song” in Judges 5. Psalms 68:1-Joshua : . Praise of God for His power and lovingkindness. This section begins with a quotation from Numbers 10:35, the words used when the Ark moved forward in the forty years’... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 68:26

Or, as it is rendered in our margin, and by many others, ye that are of or from the fountain of Israel, or Jacob, i.e. all ye people of Israel, who are called the fountain of Jacob, Deuteronomy 33:28, and said to come forth out of the waters of Judah, Isaiah 48:1, and consequently of Jacob or Israel. See also Proverbs 5:18; Isaiah 51:1. And this sense seems to be confirmed by the following verse, wherein this fountain is distributed into its several streams, the tribes of Israel. But these... read more

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician.” See Introduction to Psalms 57:0. “A Psalm or Song of David.” See Introduction to Psalms 48:0.The Superscription does not mention the occasion on which the psalm was composed. On this point various opinions have been held and advocated. Most of the older expositors, and Steir and Barnes amongst the moderns, are of opinion that it was composed for the removal of the Ark from the house of Obed-edom to Mount Zion (2 Samuel 6:0). The view of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 68:1-35

This psalm is the Carmen seculare of the Hebrews, and far surpasses the Te Deum of the christians. It has justly been eulogized in the whole succession of theological composition,. The song bursts at once upon us in the boldest effusions of the heart. Psalms 68:1 . Let God arise. This psalm was sung when David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness, and therefore with great propriety it commences with the words used by Moses... read more

Psalms 68:19-28Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.God as the Deliverer of His peopleI. A liberal dispenser of daily blessings (Psalms 68:19). “Daily beareth our burden” (R.V.). Amongst the many ways in which He helps men to bear their burdens is by kindling within them and keeping burning the lamp of hope. The soul-vessel that is most heavily freighted, and most severely tossed by the tempest is buoyed up by hope. “Day by day.” When the day... read more

Psalms 68:24-27They have seen Thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.The progress of Divine truth in the worldI. Some men merely witness the progress of Divine truth (Psalms 68:24). What a large class of men there is in Christendom who act thus in relation to the progress of Christianity! They see new churches erected and new adherents gained all around them. They read of the multiplication of copies of Holy Scripture, and the increase of the triumphs of... read more
