Context of Psalms 68:32
30Rebuke the beasts [living] among the reeds [in Egypt], The herd of bulls (the leaders) with the calves of the peoples; Trampling underfoot the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war. 31Princes and envoys shall come from Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands [with the offerings of submission] to God. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord! Selah. 33To Him who rides in the highest heavens, the ancient heavens, Behold, He sends out His voice, a mighty and majestic voice. 34Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.
