Context of Psalms 68:29
27There is little Benjamin, their ruler, and the princes of Judah in their robes, along with the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali. 28God has decreed that you will be powerful. O God, you who have acted on our behalf, demonstrate your power, as you come out of your temple in Jerusalem! Kings bring tribute to you. 30Sound your battle cry against the wild beast of the reeds, and the nations that assemble like a herd of calves led by bulls! They humble themselves and offer gold and silver as tribute. God scatters the nations that like to do battle. 31They come with red cloth from Egypt, Ethiopia voluntarily offers tribute to 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.

- 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
