Definitions for Psalms 68:28
Clarke's Psalms 68:28 Bible Commentary
Thy God hath commanded - This and the following verses is what they sung.
Barnes's Psalms 68:28 Bible Commentary
Thy God hath commanded thy strength - Has ordered thy strength to appear, or to be manifested. This is addressed, evidently, to the people of the land; and the idea is, that, on this occasion, God had called forth a full representation of the strength of the nation; or, as we should say, there had been a full "turn out." It was an impressive sight, showing the real strength of the people.
Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us - Increase the strength thus manifested. Let it be still greater. The scene is now impressive and grand; make it still more so, by adding to the number and the prosperity of thy people. This is an illustration of the desire in the heart of every pious man that, whatever prosperity God may have given to his people, he would give a still larger measure - that however greatly he may have increased their numbers, he would add to them manymore. This desire of the heart of piety will not be satisfied until the whole world shall be converted to God.
Wesley's Psalms 68:28 Bible Commentary
68:28 Thy God - Having spoken of Israel, he now directs his speech to them. Commanded - Hath ordained or effectually procured.Thy strength - all that strength and power which thou hast put forth at any time
