Psalm 68:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 68:7

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people
In the pillar of cloud, and in the pillar of fire, as the Targum adds; and this divine Person was the Son of God, the Angel of his presence, in whom his name was, even his name JAH or Jehovah before mentioned;

when thou didst march through the wilderness;
at the head of the Israelites, leading, guiding, and directing them; providing for them all things necessary, and protecting them against their enemies. And so Christ goes before his people, as they pass through the wilderness of this world; and does the like good offices for them, until he, as the great Captain of their salvation, brings them safe to glory: for what is here said is taken notice of as a resemblance of what he now does, or has done, under the Gospel dispensation, to which this psalm belongs; particularly of his marching through the wilderness of the Gentile world, in the ministry of the word by his apostles, wherein he went forth conquering and to conquer.

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

Psalm 68:7 In-Context

5 Padre de los huérfanos, defensor de las viudas,
este es Dios y su morada es santa.

6 Dios ubica a los solitarios en familias;
pone en libertad a los prisioneros y los llena de alegría.
Pero a los rebeldes los hace vivir en una tierra abrasada por el sol.

8 la tierra tembló y los cielos derramaron lluvia a raudales

para refrescar la tierra agotada.
