Psalm 68:32-35 is today’s BDBD. Doxology.

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 […]

Psalm 68:28-31 is today’s BDBD. Continue the Conquest.

The singers leading the grand procession sing, “Summon your power, O God…” or perhaps, “Your God has summoned power for you…” and continue with “…show us your strength, O God, as you have done before.” They want the Lord to continue his victory over their foes so that other kings may bring him gifts. They […]

Psalm 68:24-27 is today’s BDBD. Here Comes God and King.

When I was a child, my hometown would have a parade every Labor Day. I would stand on the street curb with my neck stretched, watching for the first glimpse. The first vehicle was always the village police, followed by the mayor and his family seated in a waxed convertible limo. Boring to a young […]

Psalm 68:19-23 is today’s BDBD. God Will Crush the Enemy’s Head.

Praise God for salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior (19). This is what David is instructing the Lord’s people to do in mass assembly. Why? Because he daily bears our burdens. Jesus bore the cross as an atonement for our sins, once and for all. Every day as I go about my day […]

Psalm 68:18 is today’s BDBD. He Ascended on High.

Verse 18 is the key to understanding the mystery behind this prophetic-psalm. Yes, this is a processional-psalm in the fact that David is writing of the Lord’s triumphant leading his people from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion, and from the tabernacle to the temple with “May God arise…extol him who rides on the clouds (meaning […]

Psalm 68:14-17 is today’s BDBD. Mountains.

Four earthly mountains are mentioned in verses 14 through 17, and the heavenly mountain is referenced in verse 18. Mount Zalmon (14) is a wooded mountain near Shechem. The name means “shady” or “dark” or “black”. Fallen snow would easily contrast. Thus, at the Lord God’s moving, the falling kings that are scatted on the […]

Psalm 68:11-14 is today’s BDBD. The Almighty Scattered Kings.

God allowed the Israelites to pass through the Red Sea when he led them out of slavery in Egypt to Mount Sinai before they went to the promised land. The Lord did not allow Pharoah and the Egyptian army to pass through the Red Sea. The waves crushed them. They drowned. Exodus 15 records the […]

Psalm 68:7-10 is today’s BDBD. Before Your People.

God always goes out before his people. The Lord God was in front of Israel when they left Mount Sinai on their way to the promised land (7). Jesus was in front of his apostles and disciples, preaching from town to town. The Holy Spirit led the apostles and disciples where they needed to be […]

Psalm 68:4-6 is today’s BDBD. Reason to Sing.

The fatherless have a reason to sing praise to God. The widows have a reason to sing praise to God. The lonely homeless have a reason to sing praise to God. Prisoners have a reason to sing praise to God. God is coming. God is their father, defender, holy dwelling, friend, and freedom bearer. Sing […]

Psalm 68:1 is today’s BDBD. Our Mighty God.

Psalm 68 is considered one of the processional psalms. David is the writer of this psalm. The psalm declares the mighty God of Israel who “rides on the clouds”. The psalm begins similarly to the declaration prayer Moses gave whenever the ark set out while they were in the desert. He said, “Rise up, O […]
