Psalms 68:33

31 ^aEnvoys will come out of Egypt;
^bEthiopia will quickly ^cstretch out her hands to God.

32 Sing to God, you ^akingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah

33 To Him ^awho rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a ^bmighty voice.

34 ^aAscribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.

35 O God, ^aYou are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!

Psalms 68:33

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens - The highest heavens. The heaven of heaven would properly mean the heaven above that which is heaven to us; that is, the heaven above the sky. This is represented as the special dwelling-place of God. The Jews were accustomed to speak of three heavens:

(a) The aerial heaven, or the region above us, where the birds fly, and the winds blow;

(b) the starry heavens, or the firmament in which the stars are fixed; and

The word "rideth" here means that he appears there as a conqueror, or that he moves in majesty and glory. See the notes at Psalms 18:10.

Which were of old - The words "of old" refer here to the heavens, and denote their antiquity. He rides upon those ancient heavens. He occupies a position above those ancient works of his power.

Lo, he doth send out his voice - Margin, as in Hebrew, "give." The reference is to thunder. The design of this is to increase the impression of his majesty and power.

And that a mighty voice - See the notes at Psalms 29:3.
