25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
25 In front are the singers, after them the musicians; with them are the young women playing the timbrels.
25 the singers in front, the musicians last, between them virgins playing tambourines:
25 Singers out front, the band behind, maidens in the middle with castanets.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
25 Singers are in front, musicians behind; between them are young women playing tambourines.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 68:25
Commentary on Psalm 68:22-28
(Read Psalm 68:22-28)
The victories with which God blessed David over the enemies of Israel, are types of Christ's victory, for himself and for all believers. Those who take him for theirs, may see him acting as their God, as their King, for their good, and in answer to their prayers; especially in and by his word and ordinances. The kingdom of the Messiah shall be submitted to by all the rulers and learned in the world. The people seem to address the king, verse 28. But the words are applicable to the Redeemer, to his church, and every true believer. We pray, that thou, O God the Son, wilt complete thine undertaking for us, by finishing thy good work in us.
