Psalms 68:22
20 Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
21 Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
23 that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
24 They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
