詩篇 68:1-2 JC

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 68:1

CONTENTS This Psalm is full of gospel from beginning to end, as the authority of God the Holy Ghost fully shows, Ephesians 4:8 . It was composed, probably, at David's removing the ark from the house of Obed-edom. And as the ark was well known, and well understood in the church, to have been a type of Christ we may well suppose the mind of David had this in view in all he celebrates. To the chief musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Psalms 68:1 If the Reader will consult Numbers 10:35 , he will... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 68:2

Here are two strong similitudes made use of, to represent the fleeting transitory continuance of all the enemies of our Christ. Smoke may for the moment seem to eclipse the sun; and wax, from its hardness and adhesive nature, may form an obstruction; but both must instantly give way before the light and heat of the sun's beams. So Jesus, when he appears, makes every enemy fall before him. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 68:1

Changed. A psalm for Christian converts, to remember the passion of Christ; (Challoner) whose sentiments this and the 21st psalm express in the most energetic language. (Berthier) --- It may have been composed by a captive Levite, (Calmet) or David may allude to their sufferings at Babylon, or to his own, though he had those of the Messias principally in view. See Psalm xxvi. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 68:1-6

1-6 None ever hardened his heart against God, and prospered. God is the joy of his people, then let them rejoice when they come before him. He who derives his being from none, but gives being to all, is engaged by promise and covenant to bless his people. He is to be praised as a God of mercy and tender compassion. He ever careth for the afflicted and oppressed: repenting sinners, who are helpless and exposed more than any fatherless children, are admitted into his family, and share all their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 68:1-17

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 68:1-11

the Leader of His People Psalms 68:1-11 This is one of the grandest odes in literature. It was probably composed when the Ark was brought in triumph from the house of Obed-edom to the newly acquired hill of the Lord, 2 Samuel 6:1-23 . It is evidently a processional hymn, intended to be sung by bands of white-robed priests and Levites. In this paragraph the Ark was lifted to the shoulders of its bearers, while a measured strain was chanted, Psalms 68:1-6 . Then, as the procession moved... read more

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
