Context of Psalms 68:26
24Your festival processions, O God, can be seen by everyone. They are the processions for my God, my king, into the holy place. 25The singers are in front. The musicians are behind them. The young women beating tambourines are between them. Thank God, the Lord, the source of Israel, with the choirs. 27Benjamin, the youngest, is leading them, ⌞next⌟ the leaders of Judah with their noisy crowds, ⌞then⌟ the leaders of Zebulun, ⌞then⌟ the leaders of Naphtali. 28Your God has decided you will be strong. Display your strength, O God, as you have for us before.
