Psalm 68: In Praise Of God

Psalm 68 is a love letter.  It contains the psalmist's unbridled enthusiasm and admiration for the God of Israel.   Whether reflecting on the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery (vs. 7) or the conquest of Jerusalem (vs. 17), God's might is on display.  God's compassion, too, is praised as the "father of orphans and protector of widows" (vs. 5).  In the view of the psalmist, God's goodness and greatness is cause for worldwide worship and devotion (vs. 32).  Surely, our awesome God is worthy of praise!
