Tehilliym (Psalms) 67
A psalm reflecting Yashar’el, as Elohiym’s priests to the nations.

Introduction:
Tehilliym (Psalms) 67 is a communal prayer that centers on Yahuah’s desire to bless His people so that His way and salvation might be made known among all nations (the Gentiles). The psalm connects blessing with purpose—showing that favor from Yahuah is never meant to remain private, but to draw the nations into righteous order, joyful praise, and reverence for His just rule. It highlights a pattern seen throughout the Scriptures: when Yahuah blesses His people, the ultimate goal is that the earth would fear Him and walk in His ways.

Conclusion:
Tehilliym 67 calls us to examine whether we view Yahuah’s blessing as a personal benefit or as a covenant responsibility. The psalm reveals that favor from Yahuah is given so that His ways may be known, His salvation made visible, and His righteous judgments established among all peoples. As the earth responds with increase and the nations respond with praise, we are reminded that obedience and gratitude invite continued blessing, while humility keeps our hearts aligned with His purpose and not our own. Ultimately, Tehilliym 67 teaches that when Yahuah’s people walk faithfully before Him, their lives become a testimony through which the whole earth is drawn to fear, honour, and praise Him.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of Da’vid.
Introduction:
Tehilliym (Psalms) 68 is a powerful victory psalm that proclaims Yahuah as the Mighty Warrior who rises to scatter His enemies and establish His righteous reign. It celebrates Yahuah’s presence among His people—from the wilderness journey to His dwelling place—showing Him as a defender of the fatherless, a judge of the oppressed, and the One who leads His redeemed in triumph. The psalm reveals a consistent scriptural theme: when Yahuah arises, chaos is driven back, justice is established, and His people are called to rejoice in His strength and salvation.
Tehilliym 68 (KJV-YS):
Verses 1-14:
Insights: The psalmist opens the psalm with calling on Elohiym to arise so that His enemies will be scattered and driven away but those who love Him, the righteous, will be glad and rejoice before Elohiym. He is the one that rides upon the heavens and is fair and equitable to all without showing partiality. Elohiym frees those who are oppressed but punishes those who rebel against Him, just as He did when He brought His chosen people, Yashar’el, out of Mitsrayim (Egypt). The psalmist reminds us that no matter what we go through in this life, as long as we are faithful to obey Elohiym, He will provide everything that we need when we need it and no matter how evil the world is, Elohiym will always prevail and give prosperity to Hi people.
“1. Let Elohiym arise, let His enemies be scattered: let them also that hate Him flee before Him. 2. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of Elohiym. 3. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Elohiym: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. 4. Sing unto Elohiym, sing praises to His name: extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name Yah, and rejoice before Him. 5. A Father of the fatherless, and a Judge of the widows, is Elohiym in His set-apart habitation. 6. Elohiym setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 7. O Elohiym, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: 8. The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of Elohiym: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Elohiym, the Elohiym of Yashar’el. 9. Thou, O Elohiym, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby Thou didst confirm Thine inheritance, when it was weary. 10. Thy assembly hath dwelt therein: Thou, O Elohiym, hast prepared of Thy goodness for the poor. 11. Adonai (The Lord) gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. 12. Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. 13. Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. 14. When El Shaddai (the Almighty) scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmah.”

Reflection: Yahuah’s victory over His enemies is the final cleansing of everything that will teach the people to fear Yahuah and obey Him with all of their heart, soul, mind, strength and might.
Conclusion:
The opening verses of Tehilliym 68 reveal Yahuah as the Mighty One who arises to establish His authority, scattering wickedness and bringing joy to the righteous. As His presence moves forward, chaos gives way to order, and those who trust in Him find refuge in His strength. These verses remind us that Yahuah is not distant or passive; He actively intervenes in life to defend the fatherless, uphold the oppressed, and make a way for His people to enter into His beautiful rest.
The psalm also calls us to reflect on our fear and awe at Yahuah’s power and provision. His victories are not achieved through human strength, but through His sovereign will, which supplies rain to the weary and restores what is lacking. As Yahuah marches before His people, He transforms the wilderness into abundance and defeat into triumph. Tehilliym 68:1–14 ultimately teaches that when Yahuah goes before us, obedience and trust are the proper response, for His presence brings deliverance, restoration, and lasting security to those who obey and follow Him with their whole heart.
