John Trapp on Psalms 68:22

Verſ. 22. The Lord ſaid] That is aſſurance good enough.

I will bring again from Baſhan] Og the Giants Country, where Iſrael was in no ſmall diſtreſs, and danger, till that Monſter was taken out of the way. Numb. 21.33. Deut. 3.1, 2. q. d. I will, if need require, and as occaſion ſerveth, do as much for mine again, as I did once at Baſhan, and at the red Sea. Some interpret this, and the following Verſes, of the calling of the Jews.

The Fourth Head is, the taming of their proud enemies, and the forcing them at leaſt to counterfeit a ſubjection, verſ. 29. The Fifth Head is, the general calling of all the Kingdoms of the earth to joyn themſelves unto the Church of Chriſt, which ſhall follow the converſion of the Jews.
