Context of Psalms 68:22

20God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death. 21But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness. The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bringthem again from the depths of the sea; 23That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies. 24They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
