Psalms 68:7-10

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.

7O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland, Selah

8the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.

10Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
