Psalms 68:17 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

This gives us a lively idea of the ministry of angels. We know but little of their employment; but the word of God affords much account concerning them. They are deeply engaged in prying into the mysteries of redemption. They attended the great Redeemer upon numberless occasions during his ministry upon earth, and attended him to grace his triumph when he returned to glory after redemption-work was finished - And we are told, that they will make a part in the Mediator's train, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believe. And they are said to be ministering servants sent forth to minister unto them that are heirs of salvation. But how they succour the faithful, or how their services are now exercised in the church, scripture doth not inform us. See those passages, 1 Peter 1:12; Matthew 4:11; Luke 22:43; Matthew 28:2; Acts 1:10-11; Hebrews 1:14.

Psalms 68:17

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
