‏ Psalms 68:5-6

68:5 ^a God, the Father of all marginalized and needy people, shows them compassion and protects their rights (see 10:14 ^b, 18 ^c; 69:33 ^d; 82:3 ^e).

• Like his dwelling, the Lord is holy. The supreme example of the holy God coming down to rescue humanity is Jesus Christ.
68:6 ^f God released Israel from slavery in Egypt (Exod 20:2 ^g; see Ps 69:33 ^h), and he still sets the prisoners free.

• The sun-scorched desert represents alienation from God and separation from blessing.
