Context of Psalms 68:32
30Rebuke the beasts of the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Till everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples who delight in war. 31Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God. Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah 33To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old! Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice. 34Ascribe strength to God; His excellence is over Israel, And His strength is in the clouds.
