22 The Lord says, "I will bring them from Bashan; I will bring them from the depths of the sea,
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
22 The Lord said, "I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
22 saying, "I tied up the Dragon in knots, put a muzzle on the Deep Blue Sea."
22 The Lord said, "I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
22 The Lord says, "I will bring my enemies down from Bashan; I will bring them up from the depths of the sea.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 68:22
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.
