Context of Psalms 68:29
27Benjamin, the smallest tribe, will lead them all. The leaders of Judah, with their big group, will follow. Then will come the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali. 28God has commanded that you should be strong. God, please show again how strong you are, as you have used your strength to help us in past times. As you live in your temple in Jerusalem, kings will bring gifts to you. 30Speak against your enemies! Some are like wild animals that live in the reeds. Some are proud nations, like bulls among their young cows. They must be humble and offer to you gifts of valuable silver things. Chase away those nations that like to fight wars. 31Egypt's leaders will come with gifts. People will come from Cush and they will agree to serve God.

Commentaries on Psalms 68:29
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem - The word rendered “temple” here properly means a palace; then, the abode of God considered as a king, or his residence as a king. It might, therefore, be applied either to the tabernacle or to the temple, erected as the special dwelling-place of God. As the word has so general a meaning, the passage here does not prove that the psalm was composed after Solomon‘s temple was reared, for it may refer to the tabernacle…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 29-31Verses 29-31 A powerful invitation is given to those that are without, to join the church. Some shall submit from fear; overcome by their consciences, and the checks of Providence, they are brought to make peace with the church. Others will submit willingly, ver. #(29-31). There is that beauty and benefit in the service of God, and in the gospel of Christ which went forth from Jerusalem, which is enough to invite sinners out of all nations.Read the comment
