Psalms 68:10

10. Thy congregation hath dwelt therein Literally, Thy living creatures have dwelt in it, that is, in the desert. The word rendered “congregation” denotes any thing that has life, a living creature of any kind, and is often used substantively for animal, beast. Here it includes flocks and herds with the people. So the Septuagint, τα ζωα σου , thy living creatures, or animals: Vulgate, animalia tua habitabunt, thy animals shall dwell. See same word in Psalms 68:30. It is spoken of as a wonder that such a multitude of people and animals could subsist so long in the desert of Sinai, where climate and soil yielded no adequate natural supplies, and the simple fact was a standing evidence of the power and care of God. The supposition that it applies to the people alone, considered as a flock, is against usage, and the reference to 2 Samuel 23:11; 2 Samuel 23:13 is too dubious to give any satisfaction. The word never means “congregation,” as in the English text.

For the poor The afflicted, with the accessory idea of humble, meek.
