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

The chariots of God, i.e. the hosts or armies (whereof chariots were a great and eminent part in those times and places) which attend upon God to do his pleasure, and to fight for him and for his people. Twenty thousand, i.e. an innumerable company; a certain number being put for an uncertain, as Psalms 3:6; Psalms 91:7, and in many other places. The Lord is among them; here is not only the presence of the angels, but of the great and blessed God himself. And here the psalmist seems to be... 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 68:7-18O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness.The progress of humanityI. It commences with the Divinely terrible (Psalms 68:7-8). As a rule, if not always, the very first step of the soul on its moral march is preceded by visions of God that startle and alarm. God seems to enwrap the soul in “blackness” and “darkness” and “tempests,” to roll thunders and flash lightnings on the conscience, as on Sinai of old; so that the soul cries... read more

Psalms 68:17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels.The chariots of GodWe read much in Scripture about the holy angels, how high and glorious their condition is. And we are told often how these holy angels do their work that we may learn how we should do ours. All God’s works teach some lesson concerning Him, and His greatest works are especially rich therein. But in the lives of men we do not always see lessons and examples of what we ought to do and be. Oftener far... read more

The chariot, to note the joint service of all the angels, who are here called Shinan, of their changeableness now taken away by Christ, say some; of their pre-excelleney above other creatures, say others, as being second or next unto God, the chief princes, the nobles of that court, as Daniel 10:13... read more
