Psalm 68:32–35
“Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.”

This Psalm ends with a note of hope. In the end the Lord will triumph and all those who believe in Hin will be vindicated. The Lord has the ultimate power in existence and no one can prevent Him from doing His will. On the other hand, the Lord has given each of us the power of choice and it is His will that we get what we choose. God only does good things and is never responsible for anything bad.

The Lord said, I will bring again

Psalm 68:22–31, “The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:  That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.”

The Lord is committed to restoring His people to their proper place in His plans. However, if people want to act as the Lord’s agents of blessing in the world they need to behave in a way that brings glory to the Lord. Once they stop behaving according to His high standards they will lose their place as His agents and the Lord will use other people to bring His blessing to all the families of the earth. When the Lord’s people finally submit to Him, confess their sins and repent, He will immediately bring them back into the centre of His blessings and they will enjoy all the good things that He has to offer.
