Psalms 68:24-31 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Is not this a similar address, from the Father to the Son, to what we meet with, Psalms 45:6-7, and which the Holy Ghost hath explained Hebrews 1:6-9 ? And if so, what a glorious view doth it afford of God the Father's delight and glory in the salvation wrought by his dear Son? What holy triumphs are here shown to be our Christ's? Observe how the Jewish church, with her several tribes, are set forth as coming to Christ; and how the Gentile church, with Ethiopia and the Isles, (why not our Britain included?) as looking unto Jesus for redemption. Reader I pray oblige me by reading to this effect, Isaiah 19:18, to the end.

Psalms 68:24-31

24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

30 Rebuke the companyi of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
