Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 68:26

26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel .

Or, as it is rendred in our Margent, and by many others, ye that are of or from the fountain of Israel, or Iacob, (i. e.) All ye people of Israel, who are called the fountain of Iacob, Deut. 33. 28. and said to come forth out of the waters of I[illegible: 1+ letters]dah. Isa. 48. 1. and consequently of Iacob, or Israel. See also Prov. 5. 18. Isa. 51. 1. And this sence seems to be confirmed by the following Verse, wherein this fountain is distributed into its several streams, the Tribes of Isra[illegible: 1+ letters]l. But these words may be, and are by some joyned with the former, either thus, Bless—the Lord for the fountain of Israel, (i. e.) for that fountain which God hath opened to Israel for the purging away of sin and uncleanness, as it is expressed, Zech. 13. 1. even the Blood and Spirit of Christ and all those spiritual Blessings which God confers upon his people in his Sanctuary, and by his Ordinances; which are oft compared to waters, as Isa. 12. 3. Ezek. 47. 1. and to a Fountain or W[illegible: 1+ letters]ll, as Ioel 3. 18. Ioh. 4. 14. See also Prov. 14. 27. Ier. 2. 13. Or thus, Bless—the Lord who is of the fountain of Israel, (i. e.) who though he be the most high God, yet according to the flesh is descended from Israel, as is noted Rom. 9. 5. But the first sence seems most natural and easie.
