Context of Psalms 68:27

25They have seen Your processions, O God— the processions of my God, my King, into the Sanctuary: 26The singers go before, the musicians last, between maidens beating tambourines. “Bless God in the congregations— Adonai, from the fountain of Israel.” 28There Benjamin, the youngest, is leading them, there the throng of Judah’s princes, there the princes of Zebulun, there the princes of Naphtali. 29Your God commanded your strength. Strengthen, O God, You who have acted for us.
