Psalm 68 is a triumphant Davidic hymn celebrating God's victories and goodness to the needy. "May God arise and his enemies be scattered", David commences. He prays that God's foes be blown away like smoke in the wind. God is extolled who is a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows. David remembers how God led his people in the wilderness and gave abundant showers. God scattered the kings in the land and left them like fallen snow. David then seems to rejoice in God's victorious ascent from Sinai to Zion. God is also praised as a burden bearer of his people and says that surely God will crush his enemies. Then David says, "Your procession has come into view, O God" as apparently a festive procession takes place. There are singers, musicians and maidens playing tambourines. David rejoices singing to God as God thunders with a mighty voice. "You are awesome O God in your sanctuary".
