Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 68:11

11 The Lord gave the word , great was the company of those that published it .

(i. e.) The Matter of the Word or Discourse here following. He put this Triumphant Song into their Mouths; he gave his People all those Successes and Victories, which are here celebrated. Or, gave the Matter or thing, which was published.

The works of God on the behalf of his People, were so glorious and wonderful that all sorts of Persons, both Men and Women, that heard of them, broke forth into Songs of Praise to God for them. The Hebrew word is of the Feminine Gender, because it was the manner of the Hebrews, that when the Men returned Victorious from the Battel, the Women went out to meet them with Songs of Triumph; Exod. 15. 20. Iudg. 11. 34. 1 Sam. 18. 6.
