Context of Psalms 68:28

26Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel. 27There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee. 30Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
