Commentary on Psalms 68:5

Theological / Devotional

A father. God reveals His character to men by His deeds of beneficence. The more intimately men associate with Him, the more keenly they become aware of His gracious care for His children. Christ “pitched His tent by the side of the tents of men, that He might dwell among us, and make us familiar with His divine character and life”.

The phrase “a father of orphans and judge of widows” appears twice in Ugaritic texts describing an ancient righteous king.
