Psalms 68:7

Verse 7

7. Wentest forth… didst march Military phrases, specially denoting the going forth to battle, Psalms 44:9; Habakkuk 3:13; Numbers 27:17. The triumphal march of Psalms 68:4 is resumed, and the proper theme of the psalm is here taken up, which is, to show that God, who has always acted as the captain and leader of his people, disposing every thing concerning them by his supreme command, has now directed the settlement of the ark at Zion. See Psalms 68:15-16. Psalms 68:7-9 are a quotation from Judges 5:4-5.

Wilderness The desert of Sinai, which Moses calls “ the waste, howling wilderness.” Deuteronomy 32:10. In Judges 5:4 the desert of Sinai and the Arabah south of the Dead Sea, (Psalms 68:4,) are both mentioned.
