They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
David composed this psalm to celebrate victories God granted him over his enemies, most likely after his triumph over the Ammonites and Syrians when the ark returned to Jerusalem. The ark's ascent to the holy mountain prefigures Christ's far more glorious ascension to heaven after He conquered His enemies and ours. Though the psalm rises to great heights of sublimity, its interpretation presents considerable difficulty at many points.

Commenting on Psalm 68:1-35
The procession of the ark climbing that hill, entering the sanctuary, friends and foes alike beheld the glorious progress of the Lord leading His people. All nature itself, winter and summer, storm and calm, swells the pomp of the King of kings in His dominion without end.

God promises to bring His people up from the depths of the sea and set them safe from danger, just as He did when He drew Israel from Egypt and from the wilderness into Canaan. What He has done before, He will do again; former mercies should kindle our faith for future ones.
