Psalm 68:6 NLT,NIV,ESV

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 68:6

Setteth the solitary in families; such as were single and solitary he blesseth with a wife and children, as he did Abraham. Houses are oft put for posterity, as Exodus 1:21; Ruth 4:11; 2 Samuel 7:11. Bringeth out those which are bound with chains; he setteth captives and prisoners at liberty, as he did the Israelites, &c. The rebellious; those who rebel against God, as the Egyptians did. Dwell in a dry land; are deprived of all true comfort, and plagued with manifold calamities. 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 68:5-6

Psalms 68:5-6 It is a beautiful view of the character of the eternal Parent of all His creatures that He fills all the parental relations. "A Father of the fatherless." And His beloved Son well caught in this, as in everything, His Father's mind: "I will not leave you orphans." I. There are fatherless ones much worse than the fatherless, and there are widows of a far deeper sorrow than the bereaved. There is the man that walks this earth and yet has no relationship with heaven. There are women... read more

Psalms 68:1-35 Psalms 68:1-35 :Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

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 68:1-6Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered: let them alone that hate Him flee before Him.A good prayerThis was what was always said by Moses, when the ark set forward afresh in the wilderness. Enemies were in the path of its progress, and if the ark was to advance, God must scatter them Advance of all kinds is accompanied with the scattering of enemies. The reformer, the teacher, the pioneer emigrant have all to fight. The very sun, as he scatters the darkness, seems to rise in a... read more

Psalms 68:6God setteth the solitary in families.The manifold mercies of God--the familyThere is a strong disposition on the part of many now to deny the goodness of God as seen in Creation. A great philosopher, recently deceased, assures us, in his last deliverance about Nature, that on the whole this is a very clumsily conducted world. No doubt this pessimistic state of mind has been partly caused by the foolish and excessive optimism of the writers on Christian evidences. These quietly... read more
