You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! Psalms 68:35
"A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah." Exiled, ill at ease, hunted, exposed to danger. Yet he could sing. And some of the sweetest Psalms come out of the bitterest afflictions. God’s songsters are like nightingales that reserve their sweetest music for the night. Whenever you and I come to be in the wilderness, may we refresh ourselves with such a Psalm as this!
Eventually, this was a Psalm sung with the Ark when it was taken up to its resting place on Mount Zion. All the tribes were gathered together and, in full pomp, they marched along, bearing the sacred chest. As they marched forward, the trumpets sounded and this Psalm rose up to God.
