Context of Psalms 68:29
27“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. Your God commanded your strength. Strengthen, O God, You who have acted for us. 30From Your Temple above Jerusalem, kings bring You tribute. 31Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves, peoples trampling down pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples who delight in war!

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.

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).
