The Rider in the Heavens

Psalm 68:32 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!

These closing words of this psalm of David summarize David's focus on God's leading His people to victory over the envious peoples of the world.  He begins by picturing enemy nations fleeing for their lives, scattered across the earth, yet, they cannot help buy be drawn back to Jerusalem, the city of God and His temple.  On one hand they are rebellious, on the other they know deep down He is the Almighty God they should serve. So David calls on them to come and worship Him, to see Him as He really is: above the clouds ruling and reigning over all the earth, and especially present among His people.
