Psalms 68:24-27

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

24They have seen Your procession, O God—the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.

26Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.

27There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
