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

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 68:16

68:16 {n} 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.(n) Why do you boast of your strength and beauty against this Mountain of God. 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 68:15-16

The hill of Zion, though beautiful for situation, and the joy of the whole earth, became so for no other reason but because the Lord chose it for himself, and to place his church there. For as to the greatness of it, or the extent or loftiness of it, there was no comparison between Zion and the numberless other hills around. And was not this a beautiful similitude to the humble appearance of Zion's king? There was no beauty when we should see him, that we should desire him: as it was said of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 68:15-21

15-21 The ascension of Christ must here be meant, and thereto it is applied, Ephesians 4:8. He received as the purchase of his death, the gifts needful for the conversion of sinners, and the salvation of believers. These he continually bestows, even on rebellious men, that the Lord God might dwell among them, as their Friend and Father. He gave gifts to men. Having received power to give eternal life, the Lord Jesus bestows it on as many as were given him, John 17:2. Christ came to a rebellious... read more

Of the Messiah's Exaltation. To the chief musician, a psalm or song of David, the event which was the immediate cause for writing this powerful hymn, according to most commentators. being the placing of the Ark of the Covenant in the tent of David on Mount Zion, 2 Samuel 6, the general thought of the psalm being the celebration of God's entrance into His Sanctuary on Zion and His rule over the whole world. But the entire psalm is typical of the Messianic victories, certain sections being even... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 68:12-25

Their Mighty Deliverer Psalms 68:12-25 The processional march still continues. Presently Mount Zion comes in sight, and the neighboring hills are depicted as eying it enviously for its selection in preference to themselves. In Psalms 68:17-18 the glad throng begins to climb the sacred slopes of Zion, amid still more triumphant strains; and in Psalms 68:19 , etc., the gates of the sanctuary stand wide open to welcome the festal crowds. How great the contrast between the blackened appearance... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

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
