Psalms 68:23 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

That thy foot may be dipped - literally, that thou mayest dash about: the same Hebrew as in Psalms 68:21, "wound" or 'dash in pieces.'

And the tongue of thy dogs in the same - i:e., may be dipped in the same; literally, 'that the tongue of thy dogs (may get) from thine enemies, from it.' Compare the case of Ahab's and Jezebel's blood licked up by dogs (1 Kings 22:38; 2 Kings 9:35-36).

Psalms 68:23
