Context of Psalms 68:26
24They have seen Your [solemn] procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary [in holiness]. 25The singers go in front, the players of instruments last; Between them the maidens playing on tambourines. Bless God in the congregations, [give thanks, gratefully praise Him], The Lord, you who are from [Jacob] the fountain of Israel. 27The youngest is there, Benjamin, ruling them, The princes of Judah and their company [the southern tribes], The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali [the northern tribes]. 28Your God has commanded your strength [your power in His service and your resistance to temptation]; Show Yourself strong, O God, who acted on our behalf.
