THE MESSAGE
See God on parade to the sanctuary, my God, my King on the march! Singers out front, the band behind, maidens in the middle with castanets. The whole choir blesses God. Like a fountain of praise, Israel blesses God . Look—little Benjamin's out front and leading Princes of Judah in their royal robes, princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali. Parade your power, O God, the power, O God, that made us what we are. Your temple, High God, is Jerusalem; kings bring gifts to you. Rebuke that old crocodile, Egypt, with her herd of wild bulls and calves, Rapacious in her lust for silver, crushing peoples, spoiling for a fight. Let Egyptian traders bring blue cloth and Cush come running to God, her hands outstretched.

Contextual Overview

22 My Lord said, "If they run up to Bashan or down to the depths of the sea, I will bring them back. 23 So you will march through pools of their blood, and there will be plenty left for your dogs." 24 God, everyone can see your victory parade— the victory march of my God and King into his holy place! 25 Singers come marching in front, followed by the musicians; they are surrounded by young girls playing tambourines. 26 Praise God in the meeting place. Praise the Lord , people of Israel! 27 There is the smallest tribe, Benjamin, leading them. And there comes a large group of leaders from Judah. Following them are the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali. 28 God, show us your power! Show us the power you used for us in the past. 29 Kings will bring their wealth to you, to your Temple in Jerusalem. 30 Punish the people in Egypt. They are like cattle in the marshes, like bulls among the calves. You humiliated them. You scattered them in war. Now let them come crawling to you, bringing their pieces of silver. 31 Messengers from Egypt will come bearing gifts. Ethiopia will offer God their tribute.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They have seen thy goings, O God,.... In saving his people, and destroying his enemies;

[even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary; the walk and conversation of Christ, when he was made flesh, and dwelt among men; his manner of life and deportment; his works and miracles, his sufferings, death, and resurrection from the dead; all which his apostles were eyewitnesses of; as also his going up to heaven, which was visible to angels and men; likewise his progress and victorious expeditions in Judea, and in the Gentile world, by the ministry of the word, in which he went forth conquering, and to conquer; which sense is confirmed by the following words: for Christ, who is God over all, the Lord and God of his people, and King of saints, is here, as throughout the psalm, intended. The Targum interprets it of the path or goings of the divine Majesty upon the sea, which the house of Israel saw.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They have seen thy goings, O God - That is, the lookers on in the solemn procession referred to in Psalms 68:25; or, in other words, Thy goings have been attended by pomp and magnificence, and have been witnessed by multitudes. The word “goings” here refers to the solemn triumphal processions which celebrated the victories achieved by God.

Even the goings of my God, my King - The psalmist here speaks of God as “his” God and “his” King. The idea seems to have suddenly crossed his mind that this great God, so glorious, is “his” God. He exults and rejoices that He whom he adores is such a God; that a God so great and glorious is “his.” So the believer now, when he looks upon the works of God, when he contemplates their vastness, their beauty, and their grandeur, is permitted to feel that the God who made them is “his” God; to find consolation in the thought that his “Father made them all.”

“He looks abroad into the varied field

Of Nature, and, though poor, perhaps, compared

With those whose mansions glitter in his sight,

Calls the delightful scenery all his own.

His are the mountains, and the valleys his,

And the resplendent rivers; - his to enjoy

With a propriety that none can feel

But who, with filial confidence inspired,

Can lift to heaven an unpresumptuous eye,

And smiling say, ‘My Father made them all!’

Are they not his by a peculiar right,

And by an emphasis of interest his,

Whose eye they fill with tears of holy joy,

Whose heart with praise, and whose exalted mind

With worthy thoughts of that unwearied love

That plann’d, and built, and still upholds a world

So clothed with beauty for rebellious man?”

task, Book v.

In the sanctuary - Or, “to” the sanctuary; in other words, as the ark was borne to the sanctuary, the place appointed for its rest, for, as above remarked, the psalm seems to have been composed on such an occasion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 68:24. They have seen thy goings — These kings of the Amorites have seen thy terrible majesty in their discomfiture, and the slaughter of their subjects.
