Psalms 68:32 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 68:32

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth
Not only the Egyptian and Ethiopian kingdoms, but all the kingdoms of the world; which will now be converted to Christ, and become his, even all the Papal, Pagan, and Mahometan kingdoms; see ( Revelation 11:15 ) . These are called upon to sing songs and hymns of praise to Christ, who is God, for redemption by him, and salvation in him; and for their deliverance from all the darkness and delusions under which they formerly were;

O sing praises unto the Lord;
the Lord of all, the Lord of lords, the Head of the church, and Saviour of the body; and whom those converted nations will acknowledge to be their Lord and King; and make their homage, and bring their tribute of praise to him, for breaking the antichristian yokes that were upon them, and freeing them from the tyranny and bondage with which they were oppressed: this will be fulfilled in the latter day; see ( Revelation 11:1 Revelation 11:5 Revelation 11:16 Revelation 11:17 ) ( 15:2-4 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) .

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

Psalms 68:32 In-Context

30 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.
31 Let Egyptian traders bring blue cloth and Cush come running to God, her hands outstretched.
32 Sing, O kings of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord!
33 There he is: Sky-Rider, striding the ancient skies. Listen - he's calling in thunder, rumbling, rolling thunder.
34 Call out "Bravo!" to God, the High God of Israel. His splendor and strength rise huge as thunderheads.
