Psalms 68:19-23

The Divine Warrior Ascends, Dwells, and Gives Strength to His People

Psalm 68 moves from divine arising and enemy scattering, through wilderness provision and Zion triumph, into ascension, sanctuary procession, international homage, and final praise to the God who gives strength to His people.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah

20Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.

21Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.

22The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

23that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes—the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
