22 The Lord said: 'From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea. 23 So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, 'In the blood of' enemies—the tongue of Thy dogs.' 24 They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary. 25 Singers have been before, Behind 'are' players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels. 26 In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord—from the fountain of Israel. 27 There 'is' little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun—heads of Naphtali. 28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.

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.
