How preachers through history handled this text
15 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 68, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Fresh mercies should put us in mind of former mercies. If God bring his people into a wilderness, he will be sure to go before them in it, and to bring them out of it. He provided for them, both in the wilderness and in Canaan. The daily manna seems here meant. And it looks to the spiritual provision for God's Israel. The Spirit of grace and the gospel of grace are the plentiful rain, with which God confirms his inheritance, and from which their fruit is found. Christ shall come as showers that water the earth. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 68:7–14 (Public Domain)
