Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 68:1

1 LEt God arise , let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him , flee before him.

O that God would arise from his Seat, and bestir himself and go forth to fight with his Enemies, who, if he do so, will easily and suddenly be scattered. Or, God will arise. And so the other Verbs following may be rendred, as being of the Future Tense: Shall be scattered, shall flee, &c. Although the Futures are frequently rendred Imperatively; and so they are truly rendred, Numb. 10. 35. whence this Verse is taken.

All God's Enemies are here said to hate God, not directly and formally, for there are few such Persons, but because they hate his Laws and Government, and his People and Image, and because they fight against him and his, which is justly taken for an Evidence of Hatred.

Marginal references: Numb. 10. 35.; Heb. from his fall.
