Psalms 68:32-35

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.

33to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.

34Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

35O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
