28 Summon your power, O God,
the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings shall bear gifts to you.
30 Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples.
Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31 Nobles shall come from Egypt;
Cush shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.
32 O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens;
behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
34 Ascribe power to God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
and whose power is in the skies.
35 Awesome is God from his sanctuary;
the God of Israel—he is the one who gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!
Comment: At the end of this long Psalm (this is the fourth day of looking at this psalm) I envisage David letting his emotions free and blasting out in triumphant praise. I don’t think that he is using ‘Cush’ in a specific country sense. Egypt gets a mention because it was from there that God took the Jews and established His people. Cush is used to extend into every direction the victory of God. Enemies lurking nearby are disposed of by being trampled underfoot. God is seen in His majesty, which reaches to the heavens, but is also gloriously acclaimed when worshiped in His sanctuary.
Prayer: Open my eyes that I might see You in all Your glorious majesty, O LORD.
As I read it!
