(10) Thy congregation.--See above. If the emendation there adopted seems unnecessary, we may render here, Thy life dwells in her, i.e., in the people of Israel. (Comp. Psalm 143:3.) The vigour consequent on the heavenly food might be called the Divine life, and conceal a higher application.Verse 10. - Thy congregation hath dwelt therein; thy troop, or thy host (see 2 Samuel 23:11, 13). The word used (חיּה) is an unusual one. Thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor; or, thou, O God, didst in thy goodness make preparation for the poor. "The poor" are the Israelites, brought low by their sufferings in Egypt and the wilderness; the preparations those by which their conquest of Palestine was facilitated (Exodus 25:28; Joshua 24:12). Psalm 68:10 celebrates the Lord who settles His flock securely, acts entirely out of His own abundant goodness, and makes special provision for the poor. It invites confident trust: the same God who shepherded Israel and fed the needy still anchors, blesses, and cares for His people today. Parallel Commentaries ...
