Context
Psalm 68 1 

For the music director; by David, a psalm, a song.

68:1 God springs into action! 2 

His enemies scatter;

his adversaries 3  run from him. 4 

1 sn Psalm 68. The psalmist depicts God as a mighty warrior and celebrates the fact that God exerts his power on behalf of his people.

2 tn Or “rises up.” The verb form is an imperfect, not a jussive. The psalmist is describing God’s appearance in battle in a dramatic fashion.

3 tn Heb “those who hate him.”

4 sn The wording of v. 1 echoes the prayer in Num 10:35: “Spring into action, Lord! Then your enemies will be scattered and your adversaries will run from you.”
