Psalm 68:35 NIV

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 68:32-35

How very applicable and suited is this hymn of praise, for all the redeemed upon earth to use, after the review of such unspeakable mercies as this Psalm hath recorded! Who can withhold the just tribute of praise, among all the kingdoms of the earth? Heaven is indeed the place of unceasing joy, and thanksgivings to God and the Lamb: but until we arrive at that blessed place, every tongue, every heart, every faculty of soul and body, should be called forth in the song of redemption. Who that... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 68:35

REFLECTIONS MY soul! pause over what thou hast read in this divine, this gospel Psalm. What though David sang the invocation in it, to thy God and Saviour, at the bringing up the ark, yet was it by faith in Jesus, who is himself the true ark of Jehovah, and on whom his glory rested. And do thou sing aloud his name and righteousness, as the ark of thy salvation, in time and to all eternity. Depend upon it, my soul, all thine enemies must flee before thy Jesus; for He, thy risen and exalted... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 68:32-35

32-35 God is to be admired and adored with reverence and godly fear, by all that attend in his holy places. The God of Israel gives strength and power unto his people. Through Christ strengthening us we can do all things, not otherwise; therefore he must have the glory of all we do, with our humble thanks for enabling us to do it, and for accepting the work of his hands in us read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 68:18-35

The Exaltation and Reign of Messiah v. 18. Thou hast ascended on high, to the height, referred by Paul to the ascension of Christ, Ephesians 4:8; for the Champion of His Church, having overcome all His enemies, now gives visible evidence of His victory by ascending in triumph to heaven; Thou hast led captivity captive, Satan and his hosts, who formerly held all mankind captive, now himself being bound with everlasting chains of darkness. Thou hast received gifts for men, among men,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 68:26-35

the God of the Whole Earth Psalms 68:26-35 The constituent parts of the procession are now described, and in these closing verses the triumphal note rings out. It tells of the confidence of Israel in her ultimate dominance of the world, which was to be not physical, but moral and spiritual. The psalmist sees tribe after tribe passing into the sanctuary, and indicates each as it goes by Zebulun and Naphtali were mentioned in Deborah’s song, already quoted. They are specially noticed here,... 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

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
