Psalm 68:7–14, “O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.”

David could remember the time when the Lord took His people away from Egypt, the land of their slavery. He took them through the Wilderness and then gave them the Law at Sinai. Israel were to act as the Lord’s agents in bringing His blessings to all the families of the earth so it was important that they behave in a way that brought honour to His Holy Name. The Lord brought them into the Promised Land and gave them a prosperous and pleasant land to enjoy.
