“Let His enemies be scattered…” Psalm 68:1b
A HIGHLY PROBABLE CONTEXT
Sometimes the superscription of a psalm would give us a clue as to when and why a particular psalm was written. However, clues are not limited to superscriptions. Another way of figuring out the historical context of a psalm would be to look at the language employed.
“Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.”
Psalm 68:1
1. “Let God arise”
These words hark back to an ancient invocation uttered by Moses:
“So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:
‘Rise up, O LORD!
Let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You.'”
Numbers 10:35
