Context of Psalms 68:19
17God has millions of chariots. The Lord has come from Sinai mountain to his own holy place. 18When you went up to the highest place, you took many prisoners with you. You received gifts from men, even from the men who had fought against you. Yes, the Lord God lives there! Praise the Lord, as he deserves! Every day he helps us with our troubles. He is the God who keeps us safe! Selah. 20Our God is the God who rescues people. The Almighty Lord saves us from death. 21He will knock down the heads of his enemies. He will destroy their skulls and their long hair, if they continue to turn against him.
