Context of Psalms 68:32
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. 31Ambassadors will come from Egypt; Cush will stretch out its hands to God. Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; sing praise to the Lord,Selah 33to him who rides in the ancient, highest heavens. Look, he thunders with his powerful voice! 34Ascribe power to God. His majesty is over Israel; his power is among the clouds.
