Psalms 68:10 - Exposition

Thy congregation hath dwelt therein ; thy troop, or thy host (see 2 Samuel 23:11 , 2 Samuel 23:13 ). The word used ( חיּה ) is an unusual one. Thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor; or, thou, O God, didst in thy goodness make preparation for the poor . "The poor" are the Israelites, brought low by their sufferings in Egypt and the wilderness; the preparations those by which their conquest of Palestine was facilitated ( Exodus 25:28 ; Joshua 24:12 ).
