68:24 They 1 see your processions, O God –
the processions of my God, my king, who marches along in holy splendor. 2
68:25 Singers walk in front;
musicians follow playing their stringed instruments, 3
in the midst of young women playing tambourines. 4
1 tn The subject is probably indefinite, referring to bystanders in general who witness the procession.
2 tn The Hebrew text has simply “in holiness.” The words “who marches along” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn Heb “after [are] the stringed instrument players.”
4 sn To celebrate a military victory, women would play tambourines (see Exod 15:20; Judg 11:34; 1 Sam 18:6).
