Context of Psalms 68:26

24They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. 25The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets. In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel. 27There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. 28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
