Context of Psalms 68:28
26Bless God in the assemblies; bless the Lord from the fountain of Israel. 27There is Benjamin, the youngest, leading them, the rulers of Judah in their assembly, the rulers of Zebulun, the rulers of Naphtali. Your God has decreed your strength. Show your strength, God, you who have acted on our behalf. 29Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring tribute to you. 30Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample underfoot those with bars of silver. Scatter the peoples who take pleasure in war.
