The ninth stanza ends Psalm 68 with a doxology that is a prophecy unfulfilled, a trumpet waiting to be sounded, the day the world, in unison, praises the Lord Jesus at his triumphant coming on the clouds of heaven, the shekinah glory, with tens of thousands and thousands of thousands following in song.
Revelation 19:6-8 records, “Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: ‘Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)”
King David wrote, “Sing to God, O kingdom of the earth, sing praise to the Lord, to him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty voice.” Apostle John wrote, “On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, … I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,” dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.” (Revelation 1:10, 12-16)
Both men write of Jesus who is coming again to judge the living and the dead, to set up his earthly kingdom, and to avenge the blood of his people. This psalm has so much more I want to write about, and I will in the commentary. Yet, I leave BDBD with this thought. Keep hope and faith in Jesus. Sing praise to his name. The main theme is to sing songs of joy to Jesus. The rest are supporting reasons why.
