Commentary on Psalms 68:11

Theological / Devotional

Gave the word. Verses 11–14 allude to the conquest of Canaan.

Those that published. Heb. mebaśśeroth, “announcers,” from the verb baśar, “to announce.” The form is feminine plural, and hence refers to women announcers. In the setting of the psalm the mebaśśeroth were probably groups or companies of women singers such as celebrated great events, for example, the return of victorious armies (see 1 Sam. 18:6, 7, see on Ex. 15:20, 21).
