Psalms 68:23 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 68:23

That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies,
&c.] This verse is in connection with ( Psalms 68:21 ) , with ( Psalms 68:23 ) being to be read in a parenthesis: the sense is, that the Messiah would so wound the head and hairy scalp of his people's enemies, and there should be such a large effusion of blood, that their feet should be dipped therein, ( Revelation 14:20 ) ; (See Gill on Psalms 58:10);

[and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same;
who should lick it up, as the dogs licked the blood of Jezebel, ( 1 Kings 21:19 ) ( 2 Kings 9:35 2 Kings 9:36 ) ; and so such a carnage will be made of antichrist and his followers, that the fowls of the heavens will be called upon to eat the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty ones, ( Revelation 19:17 Revelation 19:18 ) .
