Berean Standard Bible

“God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.”

Psalms 68:1

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 68 is one of the grandest and most challenging psalms, a processional hymn celebrating God's triumph, care for the vulnerable and journey to his sanctuary. It uses imagery from the exodus, the wilderness and the conquest, and is often linked to the ark's procession into Jerusalem.
