The Lord Will

Psalm 68:1

β€œLet God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 68

Meaning

The psalm opens with victory language that places decisive judgment with God rather than the worshiper.

God rises, enemies scatter, and the vulnerable find a home

The opening joins divine victory with joy, worship, care for orphans and widows, and a home for the isolated.

Read carefully

The subject of the action is God; the verse does not authorize contemporary violence.

Reflection

Seek lawful protection and entrust ultimate judgment to God.
