psalm-68:15-20

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).

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.

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

Psalms 68:18Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive.Ascension DayThis is the “Carmen seculare” of the old Hebrew Church, answering to the “Te Deum” of the Christian Church, and far surpassing it. In martial fervour, and in impassioned intensity of expression, the Hebrew songs excel all other compositions. This song bursts upon us at once. Every note is a nerve, every sentence is sensitive, every verse is a picture full of life, and strength, and victory. The inspired bard... 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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 68:15

Psa 68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan. Ver. 15. The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan ] Bashan was fat and fertile, but Sion was better; because the place where God’s honour dwelled, any relation to whom doth greatly ennoble any place or person: so Genesis 17:21-22 , Ishmael have I blessed, twelve princes shall he beget; but my covenant will I establish with Isaac. Since thou hast been precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable,... read more

Psa 68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever. Ver. 16. Why leap ye, ye high hills? ] Why do ye pride and please yourselves in your privileges of nature, so far above this of Sion? Quare contenditis, montes gibbosi? so some render it, and tell us, that the original word ratsad is Syriac, and significth to envy, to irritate, to insult, or contend with any one. This is the hill which God desireth to dwell... read more

Psa 68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place]. Ver. 17. The chariots of God are twenty thousand ] Heb. 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

Thou hast ascended on high ] As a conqueror doth on his triumphal chariot; the Romans ascended up to the Capitol, leading their captives bound behind them, and giving gifts unto the people (Plut. in Æmyl.).
